LOL I tried to get Crazy Comet when I joined but is taken by someone who registered like 10 years ago and has never posted(or AFAIK was never on board again)... I pissed and moaned about that but basically fell on deaf ears... BTW apparently the illustration is incorrect or I'm reading it wrong... Sure looks to me that bearing is on top side, though admittedly the pocket in your pict does look too shallow for the bearing...
I am looking for a floor shifter steering column. I currently have a column shifter. Can anyone help me source one?
If you come across a 71-73 mustang column you can swap out the collars on your column shift. That is what I did for mine.
