This video was incredibly helpful, just did this exact swap for a 71 Vette where I upgraded to tilt steering. Followed your video step by step and honestly the job wasn't too bad.
Where did you get the replacement column? Also - You can remove the rag joint sides on both the steering box and column before you remove the column from the firewall. Makes it easy.
@@OntheMarkwithMark You definitely stole it if you got it for 75.00. I bought a used one at the end of 2022 and it cost 750.00 and I still had to rebuild it. Be sure not to get one out of a junk yard unless you want to pay $$$ to repair it.
Question: My project is to replace the original tachometer with a new electronic tach. In order to access the tach, it seems that I will need to get the steering column out of the way. Is it possible to do this by unbolting the steering column and simply dropping it down, or must the steering column be removed entirely? I would appreciate your advice. Thanks!
4:45 can you tell me the name for that part please? i just bought a c3 corvette and that bit is broken and im haaving trouble finding it. can you help please?
Yes, that probably wasn’t my favorite music selection so far. Some people want me to fill in the died spots with music and other people don’t. Thanks for commenting
Great video. Appreciate you taking the time to do it sir.
You bet
Fantastic video! Thank you for your efforts on this topic!
WOW that is quite the project! Love the color of the Corvette!
I literally just removed mine, unplugging the wires on the console took the longest, rest was as you showed . Thank you
thanks for the video

my tilt is worn out so ill be taking it apart
i call it a COVID project

I hear you. I have several projects in mind for my ‘73. I’ll see some in future videos.
I had “corvgreg” on eBay rebuild mine. He did a top notch job.

Installing Vintage Air in my 74, I, same as you purchased a rebuilt TT column, thanks for the tips !
Where did u get your vintage air and how much
I'm just about to remove my '69 one to get at the rag joint. Thanks so much for sharing.
Did you get the rag joint out?
Absolutely beautiful car.. hands down 🇺🇸👍
big help! thank you
Real quick, that is a 12 point head on the bolt at the rag joint not a 16 point. Again great video sir.
Thanks for the info
Thanks, for the Info. I will do the same in my 1971 C3.
Hard to hear what you are saying with the rap music playing. Any way to just lower the column so I can change my dimmer switch?

I bought it at the Jefferson Wi Swap Meet for $75.

If you think getting it out wasn't easy,, wait till you try and put the other in. Not fun. Rebuilt my entire steering column,, Tilt, 1970 C3.

It can be done by just dropping it down. It’s not that bad a job.

I’m sorry I am going to need more information on what part you’re referring to.
@@OntheMarkwithMark it was the part where you were loosening, looks like it connects with the bolt?
The rag joint is giving me a hard time
Where did you buy your new column from.
I picked it up at the Jefferson Wi Swap meet for $75.00. It needed a lot of work.
spare us the music
Sorry- sometimes I make better choices then others.
spare us the damn music
Sorry you didn’t like it. I can’t please all the people all the time. 🙂
Appreciate you making a video of this, but get rid of the stupid music
