OC Steering Columns may have parts. He is very knowledgeable.

Knob

Thanks, no tested the gauge before I installed the know.

Thanks, I picked up an NOS gauge from Hiltop Auto Parts. The gauge is now working.I was suspicious of the almost full reading as I just purchased the car, stuck a dipstick in the tank and it seems to be almost full.

Will do.

On mine there is a splined joint about 2/3 down the column. The outer jacket extends just past the firewall.

I appreciate you looking for the part number. I did reach out to Orange County Steering Columns. They said it is usually the rubber washer part of the collapsible sleeve. They said it is a poor design. They said they could repair it 2 ways. With a new spacer/rubber or change the upper shaft...

Thanks, that would be a big help to have the part number. Good to know the service tools are available, I hope I will need them.

Yes, I see in the instructions that there is some special tooling required. I have started searching for a repair kit, but I am not optimistic. In the event that I do find one, would you be interested in selling that tool that you have? I've been considering sending the column out to Orange...

I have a 64 300 that has a tilt steeering column. I think it is the first year for that option. There is quite a bit of lateral play in the steering wheel that doesn't appear to be coming from the tilt knuckle. I think it is the upper bearing. There is nothing in the 64 shop manual about the...

Thanks. I am not sure how much gas is in the tank as I just bought the car, but I will check and see what kind of reading I get.

Here is a picture of the back of the fuel gauge I also don't know what this is. Looks like a condenser

I think the voltage limiter on 64 Chryslers is in the gauge. So I did some testing as per FSM. The cluster is out of the car. There are 3 terminals on back of fuel gauge. With jumper going from positive post on battery to the I terminal, and with jumper going to ground on cluster from negative...
