Hey Gang,
I put a 71 Chevy Suburban Tilt Column in my 72 truck today. There are several things different between tilt and non tilt. I noticed that where shifting linkage attached to the column lever on the tilt is curved where the non tilt is straight. After the install I cannot get my truck to shift manually through P to 1. I searched the forums and found numerous articles about tilt columns but nothing mentioned about shift linkage adjustments. What do I need to do to get right. Are the linkages for tilt and non tilt the same? Thanks in advance.
