Thanks. Bushing the pin seats was interesting. Again The issue is that the column shaft is not being stabilized between the bearings in the head unit and i can't figure out why. Bearings are brand new BTW and It is assembled per diagram. Its like the shaft needs to be pulled up but can't. I tried adding shims but no good. Next options is to have it rebuilt or replaced. Currently waiting for my new mechanic to have time to address big issues so i am rewiring/replumbing all the gauges and accessories. Still keeping original 84 chassis harness but adding 2 fuse blocks. One for external options and one for internal stuff. Both are relay/fuse protected and switched via key.

As a side note for fellow thin skin geezers who bruise easily i find cutting the toes off a thick pair of socks and slipring them over your fore arms from wrist to elbow helps when working under those tight AD dashs.
