I am working on a buddies old willy's jeep and this column is in it. It is a tilt telescoping unit. To adjust the telescoping you turn where the horn button would normally be. I need to know what year and make it is, so I can wire up signals. Any help would be appreciated.
What does the turn signal switch connector look like? The tilt lever almost looks Chrysler like...but they did use Saginaw (GM) tilt-tele columns Anyways, if you show us the connector, we can probably help you figure it out.
Looks like '65 or '66 Chevy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/65-66-CHEVR...TILT-TELESCOPIC-STEERING-COLUMN-/360424770391
Sure looks like this one, at least that center section - http://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-IMPALA...ies&vxp=mtr&hash=item5ae3a4813a#ht_1768wt_922 In which case, the wiring and guts is the same for GM and Chrysler, or should be anyways, some of the posts I hit indicated the internals are the same for all of them.
Started in 65... In Corvair and Corvette according to this commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X5m4emm0OM But I know for a fact that GM made that column well into the 90's, with minor changes. The way I know this is they put them in 91 Series Case Tractors, and that's what my teardown manual is for, a column in one of those...
So its looking like mid 60 GM possibly. Biggest problem is there is no connector on it. They direct spliced it in place. Wire color should be fairly easy to track down. Thanks for the input.
