My Rebel steering wheel should fit? I realize to make sure of length and all that, plus I'd need a non-key version, but one that has the auto shifter on the column. IIRC, GM went to the keyed-columns a couple of years before everyone else, yes?

To: amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <20060624194117.37276.qmail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 First, congrats on getting further along than most of us on your Summer project! I am hanging sheetrock in an unfinished basement which is also getting a full bath, and have a Fall Tree House build, 4 door J20, 4 to 6 Eagle Kammback swap, and an SX4 to start working on with my son. My pristine 79 AMX 258/4spd is sitting neglected waiting to be cruised to prove it's WOW factor and mileage superiority, but I have NO time! Anyway, you need to protect your new engine components from the metal particles floating around in your engine. Imagine if you had taken those gears, lifters and cam, put them on a grinder and ground them down just as you found them. Then take all thatfine metal powder and pour it into your oil... that's exaactly what has happened. I would at least get a Filter mag or something similar to catch as much in the filter as you can and change your filter/oil very often the next few months. Spend money on good filters! The powder could be impregnated and may not all come out right away. You might even add a good magnetic oil plug... you could easily monitor things that way. Personally I would contact the boys at Bulltear.com and get an oil pump adapter that will allow you to have true protection of your oil pump. That powder can really do a number in your aluminum housing/pump area. Might sound like overkill now that everythings running great, however, when that oil pressure starts dropping down the line you'll think"Pay me now or Pay me later!" Either way, have a great week, Jesse Serrano, II __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I have a magnetic drain plug, brushed the galleys and flushed them through with solvent, changed lube and filter twice in three days. (one day and two days). I do have one of those magnet bands for the oil filter. I'm gonna put it on there just like a rabbit's foot. I think the Bulltear is a good idea. The oil pump was well within specs and I cleaned it thoroughly, but I want another one anyway as cheap insurance. mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Length isn't to big an issue as long as the column will extend through the floor and the shift lever won't interfere with anything else. The early collapsible columns are long though, and bolt directly to the steering box with no intermediate shaft. It will be difficult to find a column with the shift quadrant on the column and no key. Chevy/GMC vans are usually scavenged by hot rodders because they were the last to use a plain column. If you find a column with no key and still no quadrant, Southern Rods sells a stick on indicator for $18.95 (http://www.southernrods.com/categories/hot-rod-interiors/steering-colum ns/southern-rods-1.html). I'd use the newer 70s style column with a collapsible intermediate shaft. A G-body column or van column will fit. I just pulled the key cylinder out of the column I have in my 63 Classic (a late 80s S-10 column) and popped a chrome plug over it. The plug was made for covering holes in plumbing fixtures and such. Most people don't notice it. You'll have to work on the "foot" that screws to the floor, but the old one cuts off easy enough. I used a couple angle brackets about 1/2" wide with two hose clamps anchoring them to the column, then screwed to the floor. I was able to use the original 63 filler piece. There's always Ididit and other aftermarket columns. Southern Rods has them for $259, complete with turn signals and such. -- original message ----------------------- Date: Saturday, June 24, 2006 10:40 AM From: Jim Boone <fljab@xxxxxxxxxxx> If my '67 Rebel has a Saginaw column, then if I decide to change it out for an automatic transmission conversion, I can look for used units out of a GM/Chevelle, correct?
