I don't have any trans lock-out connected and the column lock still functions. Here's a pic that shows the position of mine (original automatic car) in a position that works........at least when I shut the ignition down when the fire erupted I could still steer! http://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-X...XSjWZSK-X2.jpg |
Today I talked to Jim Goodlad @ Hurst Tech to get some help. Jim said the rods that connect from the Muncie trans to the tab on the steering column (reverse lockout) should be removed and stored. The function of the tab on the steering column is to lock the trans in reverse until the key is turned on. The tab on the steering column does not have anything to do with locking the steering wheel.
The steering wheel lock is controlled by a pin that is actuated with the key.... so no worries about the tab on the steering column causing the steering wheel to lock. He did say that if the tab was in the wrong position it would prevent the key from turning to the off position. This guy really knows his stuff.... you're right.
Also... Hurst has a hydraulic clutch kit for the 69 Camaro that has billet aluminum mounting bracket for the clutch master, and all hardware to do the swap from mechanical to hydraulic. Hurst has been great to deal with... kudos to them.
Thanks for the tip Sieg
