I am in the middle of my steering column rebuild. Original intent was to just clean up, grease up the moving parts and paint the exterior. I noticed that I have a problem with my lower bearing and adaptor. Bearing rotates rough and the plastic adaptor is cracked. I have been searching the net for the past few hours and I cannot seem to find anything that looks close to what I have.

Is there anyone out there that has any tips on where I need to be looking?

I have included a picture of what I am looking for.

 

This is the area where the adaptor fits into. It looks as if the adaptor holds the steering shaft and shifter centered while the bearing fits into the adaptor last.

 

While we're on the subject of '67 steering columns, mine got taken apart by a helper several years ago and now I've got scattered parts, hopefully all still there. Where can I find an exploded view of a '67 floor shift 442 column?

 

See if this is what you are looking for. I assume you are looking for auto floor shift.

 

Thanks Jeff, but I'm looking for an exploded view of the steering column itself. It was taken completely apart to bead blast, paint & check the bearings and there're several pieces there that I'm not real sure of. It is a 4 speed car, but I'm not sure it makes any difference in the column itself as long as it's floor shift.

 

I found this in the service manual. It is for an automatic, but does not differentiate between column or floor shift.

 

That looks like EXACTLY what I need. Thank you very much.
