Title: Tilt steering for a 69
Post by: Rsanter on February 27, 2014, 12:35:26 PM: I have a chance to buy a complete tilt setup from a 68 . I have always heard that the 68 and the 69 tilt steering collumns were the same/ interchangable. Is that true?
If there is a difference between them what is it?
And how much is the system worth now days anyway?

Post by: Rsanter on February 27, 2014, 11:35:00 PM: How close and what would it take to conver it?
I did go ahead and buy it or there was someone right behind me to grab it....anyone want to trade?

As I remember the '68 and '69 use different tilt-a-way wiring and vaccum valve. The vaccum valve bracket is different so you may have to make a bracket up. Wiring may have to be modified. I would look at at '68 and '69 tilt wiring diagram and see if the wiring will work. You will also need a vaccum storage cannister that mounts in the right wheel well. A tilt-a-way vaccum diagram may also help. There is addition info in the 1969 factory service manual. Tilt-a-way is a great option.. Good luck.

Looking at the replacement parts it shows the turn signal harness as being the same for the 68 and 69 but I believe the connector is different.

Not for sale - was used on a project a few years back. Just snapped some pictures so I would have them for times like this - when others are asking to see examples
