Author	Topic: 70 Tilt Column question
Doyle Journeyman Posts: 41 From: Annapolis, Maryland Registered: Oct 2000	posted 02-21-2004 03:29 PM I bought a tilt column for my car and was comparing it to the column that is currently installed. I noticed that the two plates that bolt to the firewall differ. Does anybody know if this is correct or do I have the wrong column? I was able to find a part number: D0ZA-3790???. ------------------ 70 Boss 302 IP: Logged

I`ve had 2 70 Mustangs with tilt, & 2 without, but I honestly don`t recall a differance. One thing that IS different is the rag joint coupler. As I recall, the tilt column uses a D shaped coupler. I hope you got the coupler with your column, as I don`t believe they are available new. ------------------ 78 Fairmont 428 4 speed 10.20@130mph 80 Fairmont 302 5 speed 12.8@105mph 85 Mustang NHRA Stocker 302 5speed. 13.04@101mph 59 Meteor (Canadian Ford) 2 dr sedan 332, auto 74 F350 ramp truck 390 4spd IP: Logged

This is gonna sound intelligent - what is a "rag joint"? IP: Logged
