Was wondering if any of our cars came with a tilt steering column. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I only know of my 87 and with dash clearence I dont see how. Column needs replaced and a tilt will make climbing in and out of cage a lot easier, but if I read the NHRA rules right it must maintain a stock length steering column. Dash pad wont matter, That will be modified as well.

 

i've owned 4 thirdgens and all of them had tilt columns.

 

Thanks 85, no where needing it yet but thinking ahead. How 's the car handle with that 406?

 

My hydraulic cam is kinda small, so i sometimes forget about the extra 101 cubic inches i put in it, until i give it a little extra gas through a turn with my stock 15x8 inch wheels and 235/60R15s on the back. Then i'm staring in the direction i just came from (happened twice, but on back roads back home in AL. don't drive like that in town).

 

Also, do yourself a favor and locate one out of a donor car of the same year if possible since that will make it a direct bolt in and plug in for the wire harnesses that hook it up to the electrical and ignition. My 82 didn't have a tilt wheel and yes it's a pain to get in and out of the car, especially as you get older as I am. Take your time and do get the coupler good and tight should you tackle this project, otherwise your steering will feel sloppy.
