steer column change auto to manual
I have a 71 tilt and telescopic column i harvested from my parts car. The parts car is an automatic. My car is a manual.
I cant find any previous write ups on how to change this over
I know i can cut off the shift arm but prefer to do this correctly.
I have done this on older fords, but this is my first experience with chevy.
Or i trade with someone who needs auto and has a manual they dont need.
Thanks

I'm not aware of any C3 steering columns that have shift arms. Is your parts car a truck?
This is as good a resource as any, for a problem I don't understand.

Right dumb question, I should have thought it through a bit. I know there are no column shift corvettes. I guess i was referring to this in my picture-
The parts car came without a transmission and engine so i dont know where this goes. The cable was just hanging. I have not looked at my car its going into yet.

As already mentioned the column has a lever for locking the steering wheel when placed in reverse for a manual or park for an automatic, using a cable.

Hopefully the arm is wired in the up position. If it drops while driving the steering wheel could lock.
#9
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the locking aspect of the steering column is achieved by rotating the key backwards. The reverse lever merely enables the key to be rotated back. Lever not up= key not able to be rotated back.

Either way the lever should be wired to not move. Would have to look in manual to confirm function.
