correct mounted position and loosely install instru-

ment panel mounting bracket to support column.

9. Remove steering coupling from vehicle.

Installation

1.

pilot column shift levers through dash panel opening

as column is moved.

2.
Slide steering coupling into correct installed position

and install clamp bolt (fig. 12).
3.
Secure steering coupling to flanged end of steering

column with washers and nuts. Maintain coupling ad-

justment shown in Figure 16.

4.
Install instrument panel column mounting bracket.

Refer to torque specifications at rear of manual for

correct torque values.

5. Chevrolet and Chevelle only:

SECTOR SHAFT SEAL REPLACEMENT

A faulty seal may be replaced without removal of

steering gear from car by removing pitman arm as out-

lined under Maintenance and Adjustments--Steering Gear

Adjustments and proceed as follows:

1.
Loose lash adjuster lock nut and turn lash adjuster

screw several turns counterclockwise.

2.
Remove three cap screws holding side cover to gear

bushing.

3.
Pull side cover and sector shaft from gear housing

as a unit. Do not separate side cover from sector

shaft.

4.
Pull sector shaft seal from gear housing using

hooked tool or pliers.

5. Coat new seal with chassis grease and position in

sector shaft bore.

6. Place a socket or piece of pipe of suitable diameter

on top of seal and drive seal into bore by tapping

pipe or socket with soft hammer.

7. Install sector shaft side cover assembly, being care-

ful not to damage new seal with splines on end of

shaft; splines may be wrapped with a few turns of

tape to prevent this.

8. Install new side cover gasket and align side cover on

gear housing and install cap screw.

9. Perform steering gear adjustment and install pitman

arm as outlined under Maintenance and Adjustments.

STEERING COLUMN

All models are equipped with new energy absorbing

steering columns. The columns are of five basic designs

as follows:

1.
Syncromesh. The syncromesh column is used on

models with standard, column mounted, conventional

shift levers. The shift tube, within the outer mast

jacket, includes two lower shift levers for connection

to the transmission control linkage.

2.
Automatic and floor shift. This column is used on

models equipped with column mounted powerglide

shift levers, or models with floor shift. If the ve-

hicle has the column mounted powerglide shift con-

trol, the inner shift tube has a single lower shift

lever for connection to the transmission control

linkage. On floor shift models, no lower shift levers

are present on the shift tube.

3.
Tilt wheel option. The upper end and steering shaft

of this column is specially designed to accommodate

the optional tilt steering wheel.

4.
Standard Corvette Column. The standard Corvette

column is similar in design to the Automatic and

Floor Shift column used on other models, except

no shift tube is used. Other differences are pointed

out in the disassembly and assembly procedures for

Standard Corvette column.

5. Telescopic wheel option. The upper end and steering

shaft of this column is specially designed to ac-

commodate the optional telescoping steering wheel.

To perform service procedures on steering column

upper end components, it is not necessary to remove the

column from the vehicle. The steering wheel, horn com-

ponents, turn signal switch, upper housing with bearing,

shift control lever, hazard warning knob, and upper shift

bowl may all be removed with the column remaining in

the vehicle. When servicing the above components, omit

the removal procedure and proceed with the applicable
disassembly procedures. Because of the numerous dif-

ferences in steering column types, be sure to refer to the

set of instructions below which apply to the exact column

to be serviced:

CAUTION: The outer mast jacket, shift tube, _

steering shaft, and instrument panel column

mounting b
racket

are designed as energy ab-

sorbing units. Because of the design of these

components, it is absolutely necessary to handle

the column with care when performing any serv-

ice operation required. Avoid hammering, jar-

ring, dropping, or leaning on any portion of the

column.

Removal

1.
Disconnect steering column harness at connector.

Disconnect neutral safety switch and back-up lamp

switch connectors if so equipped.

Remove steering wheel as outlined in this section.

Remove nuts and washers securing flanged end of

column to steering gear. On Chevy H models, re-

move nut and clamp bolt securing lower end of steer-

ing column to steering gear.

Disconnect transmission control linkage, if so

equipped, from lower column shift tube, levers.

Chevrolet and Chevy II only: Remove screws at-

taching upper and lower mast jacket covers together.

On Chevrolet, remove screws attaching lower cover

to instrument panel (figs. 15 and 18). Remove lower

cover.

Chevelle only: Remove screws securing mast jacket

trim cover to instrument panel and remove cover

(fig. 15).

Corvette, only: Remove screws securing escutcheon

to instrument panel. Remove screws securing upper

and lower covers together and remove covers.

On Chevrolet and Chevelle columns with Powerglide

shift levers, loosen set screw at six o'clock position

at bottom of column and remove the transmission

shift indicator pointer (fig. 15).

9. Chevrolet only (fig. 19):

a. Remove screws securing cover trim to dash

panel and remove cover trim.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

.
The lighting system includes: the main lighting switch,

stop light, dimmer, and backing lamp switches, head-

lamps, parking lamps, stop, tail and directional lamps,

instrument illumination and indicator lamps, and the

necessary wiring to complete the various circuits. A

fuse panel provides convenient power take offs and fuse

clips for the appropriate circuits (fig. 1).

Chevrolet and Chevelle headlamp installation is all

new in that the headlamps are located in the radiator

support with adjusting screws and springs. Eliminating

the need for having separate headlamp housings. Chev-

rolet and Chevelle headlamp retainers and springs are

interchangeable.

Chevy n headlamp housings are new because of revised

front end styling and Corvette front end lighting is basi-

cally carryover.

Front fender lamps have been added as an option for

Chevrolet models and as standard equipment on Caprice

series.

Camaro models use single headlamps and the Rally

Sport model headlamps are covered by a retractable

section of the grille when lamps are not used. The sec-

tion of the grille covering the headlamps folds back when

lights are required; the headlamps are stationary. The

covering is retracted by a small electric motor mounted

to the headlamp housing. The headlamps are automat-

ically uncovered when the headlight switch is pulled "ON"

for illumination. If at any time the electrical circuit

becomes inoperative, the lamps can be uncovered manu-

ally. The ignition switch must be
"ON"
in order to close

the headlamp doors.

Parking lamp for Chevelle and Chevrolet models are
new due to revised front end sheet metal and bumper

styling. Parking lamps are located in the bumper on

Chevrolet, Chevelle and Chevy n models

Camaro parking lamps are located in the radiator

grille except for the Rally Sport models on which the

parking lamps are in the valance panel. For styling

reasons, the lens is white and an amber glass bulb is

used. All Camaro parking lamps require a separate

ground wire to assure a good ground contact because of

the plastic grille and painted contact surfaces.

The Chevrolet tail, stop, and directional lamps are in

one housing with a three section lens design on Impala

and Caprice sedans. The center lens for Impala series

is the back-up lamp. The center lens on the Caprice is

a tail lamp with the back-up lamps being located in the

rear bumper. Chevrolet station wagons have three indi-

vidual housings with three lenses, the center lamp being

the back-up. Biscayne and Bel-Air sedans have a single

housing and lens for tail, stop, and directional lamp with

a similarly constructed back-up lamp inboard and adja-

cent to it.

Chevelle tail, stop, and directional lamps are a single

lens design that follows through with the rear fender

styling. The back-up lamp is located in r.ear bumper.

Camaro models except Rally Sport have tail lamps

with integral back-up lamps mounted inboard of the rear

fenders between the trunk opening and bumper. The

Rally Sport model has dual tail lamps in the rear housing

and valance mounted back-up lamps.

Corvette, Chevy n, and Corvair tail and directional

signal lights are carryover. The Corvette has new back-

up lamps center mounted above the license plate opening.
