As soon as I'm absolutely sure I have all the parts and test the shift lock assembly. I still need a combination switch and the lock cylinder coded to my key. I could use my existing ones but I want to keep the original column intact except the wheel & air bag.

Jim

I now have the column

Bolts are SAE

Jim

Depends on the backspacing of the Firebird rims. If they've got 6", you should be OK. Anything more or less than that could cause frame or wheel well rubbing issues.

Mine gets the shakes 40 to 45 MPH and it has a slight dent in the Driveshaft. But a 6061 -t6 shaft means $$$ so i can live with it untill the parts yard comes up with one.
