Re: Rack and pinion

I've been down that later model column road a few times. Most recently with a '70 Coupe de Ville tilt/tele. But I've also done others. It's always a PITA especially with regard to the e-brake handle and mechanisim. Also steering wheel placement often winds up being too close to the driver resulting in further mods which makes shifter placement dicy. Last time I swore I was done using 30+ year old junk and contorting myself under the dash. If I ever do another column I'm going to call ididit. People say they have good luck with van columns and motorhomes due to the smaller tube diameters but those are about as rare as hen's teeth in my neck of the woods.
