    Updated video without the music: ruclips.net/video/y0DybCpfCyQ/видео.html
    I had to remove the background music using a filter because I no longer have the original video without music. The audio isn't perfect and cuts out a little bit, but it is much better and less annoying. Sorry for my inexperienced video editing mistake, and I hope the re-uploaded video is more helpful.

    I'm rebuilding a 81 vette. Just finished the motor, transmission is rebuilt, and the rearend is all done along with the front suspension. The interior is coming all out and the steering column is getting rebuilt. I did buy the factory assembly manual they used on the line when biulding the car. It has all the instructions and assembly diagrams for the steering column. I got all new parts, except the turning signal arm with cruise control. Nobody makes it, and I can't find one anywhere. Anyone got one? Only thing I'm missing.

    When you pull the buzzer spring out, you a should tell and show that there is another very tiny v shape spring inside. That spring inside is to realy wedge it out. so people be extra carefull when you pull it out because it will fly out on you without you realizing it. Every body i have contacted has discontinue the parts.

      If I remember correctly there is a locking pin that you need to press in in order to remove the ignition cylinder. My guess would be that the pin is not engaging or might be in the wrong spot on the new ignition cylinder

      @SWSpeedCo  2 года назад

      I think it should do it on its own but I would visually check to make sure it is actually engaging. Also If you still have the old one you can look at the pin placement and make sure it's in the same spot on the new one.

      If it is as clean as it sounds, I think you got a great deal, mine has 95000 miles, but the numbers matching motor is in need of a rebuild. With a rebuild on the engine in the condition mine is in it could probably sell for upward of 15000. Mines not as nice as it looks in videos though, it has its quirks
