Help - 65 Tilt Column Conversion
Why am I having trouble bolting the tilt column to the dash. It seems that the bolt set-up and U bracket is not the same as the standard no-tilt column. There is a small metal tab on the dash bracket that I removed. It still doesn't fit well. Any advice?

I don't see any difference after a quick look at the parts book, other than there is 1 rubber insulator that says its floor shift without tilt
Are you sure the tilt column came out of a American 65 full size Pontiac?

Interesting. Have swapped out straight for tilts in 65s and 66s and haven't seen that problem. Would like to see some pix.

You must not have a 65-66 Big Car tilt.

Thanks for all of the input. After looking at all of the evidence, I'm certain what I have is not a 65 column - may not even be a Pontiac. Plan B - another column. I need to get the car on the road!!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
