: I am STILL trying to get the steering wheel off my '71. : Now when I pull the column, I find it isn't like any I've seen before. This one has the collapsable structure that makes the column accordian in a crash. Consequently, I find the column from the steering wheel to the gear box is in 2 pieces that slide together. This just seems to get better and better. : This car was originally an auto with a shifter on the column and has been switched to a tranny hump shifter. : I have to ask once again, is there something, anything, that could be holding that wheel on besides the big nut? : Does anyone have an exploded view of the column they could scan for me? : Now for this God awful wiring. I have the new fuse block in and all the wires connected per painless's instructions. Big Surprise. almost nothing works. : Painless's tech support says it's all connected right. They can't figure out why it doesn't work. : I have starter, but no run. As soon as the car fires and the key is released, the car dies. : I have no turn signals or flashers <the original problem> or wiper motor. I have a new turn signal switch to put in, hence the need for the wheel removal. <I also tried a new ignition switch tonite, too. No difference> : I have an MSD ignition and distributor which appears to be wired correctly. : This Ford wiring is insane. Somebody please tell me what the heck this resistor wire is that runs all throughout the car. : Can you tell how frustrated I am? : Sorry, I just had to vent.............................
