2 1. Using a multimeter, he tests to make sure
the connections were made correctly then
tests the turn signals.


22. The hardware came preinstalled on
the column, so the shifter retaining pin was
removed and the handle was installed. The pin
was then tapped into place to lock the shifter on.

23. With the shifter installed, Seth checked
for function and alignment.


  1. Our Intro Wheels steering wheel was set
    on the new column. Before tightening it, he ran
    the horn button lead wire through the hub.


25. With the wheel lined up, it was secured
using the provided nut and a ratchet with the
socket.

26. After checking alignment of the steering
wheel and our front wheels, Seth loosened it
once more to make a small adjustment then
locked it down again.

2 7. The key was turned to the
accessory position to check
that our column lighting and
all exterior signal lights were in
working order.




  1. Seth connected the horn
    button wire to the center cap
    and pressed it into place,
    finishing our install. This was a
    fairly simple install that solved
    several problems on our Sub.
    Most importantly, it took all the
    remaining slop out of the wheel.
    Check in next month for another
    very cool update to our ’71
    Suburban Project.
