Talk about a God send, H! Pix worth a thousand $$$...
There's no end "bushing" piece in the shifter shaft end on mine, where this shows the M wire connecting. Probably why it's in midair. But now know where the ends go. Surprised it didn't short the turn signal... You convinced me it's gotta B pulled apart... Thanks.
Maybe I shoulda bought those other 4 cars for parts, but my thinking is you end up with that many more things that don't work and have parts missing...Things like this try men's patience and thin their wallet.
After hearing they want $1100 to refurbish my steering wheel and $2800 to regrain my trim, this resto maybe forced to a hot rod mod. Epoxy is cheap but takes more time. Maybe I'll just whack off a 2x4, drill a hole, beat it on there, and go back to pre Packard tiller steering!
Looks like a frantic weekend walking the swap meet for the impossible part...
