All of which happens on a "quick run to the grocery store".

Same here! Except the tank is on empty...

My stock non-tilt column needed to be rebuilt after 45+ years. After doing some research I found it was going to cost as much to rebuild the stock column as to buy a new Ididit tilt column. That made the choice a no brainer. So I now have a tilt wheel and I am amazed how much easier it is to get in and out of the car.

What part number did you get and from where? After mounting my seats i hate the feeling of the steering wheel position. Im leaning towards getting it painted gloss to match my steering wheel. I also noticed that you can get the dimmer switch option. this looks like the correct one. The only thing i don't like is that its not collapsable. There should be another option. Use a tilt column from another car or something

Ididit does make collapsible columns.

I have been considering one as well, but to be honest I have been in three different first gens with tilts and everyone of them has a little bit of movement when in the adjusted position. I am not sure I like that feeling especially when racing. It will actually rock up and down (very slight play). Anyone experience the same? I have decided to stay with stock column for that reason. One of them was an ididit.

I put an Ididit tilt in my car around 2001. My old factory non tilt one need new bearings. I like it a lot and installation is pretty easy (got the correct bolt in one). No issues with it since then.
