Is there a 1988-89 locking lever pin? My tilt is wobbling

[@AmpasaurusWrecks]

This is brilliant.

[@aviatorflighttraining]

I think I need to send my 70 Cougar Tilt Column to you! Will be calling soon!

[@70stangman22]

Did you end up sending your column in?

[@georgestiers6631]

Will the locking pins work on 1988 f150 tilt columns?

[@brcron007]

Great ol vid ;)

[@conanthedestroyer7123]

Great information. Help please!!! I have a 1979 F100 automatic transmission with tilt steering and trying to replace the bulb for the automatic gear indicator. The bulb is connected to the turn signal switch assembly. How do I get access to replace the bulb?

[@WestCoastClassicCougar]

We only deal with Mercury Cougars. Have you tried asking on one of the Classic Ford Truck Forums? www.fordf150.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=70

[@danrecine1988]

I have a neighbor with a 1973 Continental. The shifter on the column is flopping around and she can't get into park from reverse. Do I need to take the column out and send it to you or is beyond fixing?

[@dennyhill4396]

Do you sell the gear for the ignition also used is fine mine is wore 1976 tbird

[@WestCoastClassicCougar]

We only sell parts for the 67-73 Cougar but try to list when the part also fits other makes/models. I do not believe that part is a cross with any of the parts we sell.

[@garywood9525]

Would it make any difference to spay oil on the new dowell pin as a barrier on the aluminium when knocking in with the center-punch in case of oxide build-up from moisture over 50+ years . Not sure if you charge by the hour , gray hairs or swear words .

[@christopherlynn4692]

Don, Could you sleeve the holes that are wallowed out very badly, then that part could be saved........Chris

[@michaelwilde2903]

Will this fit on a 1977 mercury marquis? Just had somebody try to steal my car and broke all kinds of stuff on my steering column.

[@WestCoastClassicCougar]

The 1970-1978 pin should, but we do not have a Marquis to test it on, so we cannot say with 100% certainty. That being said, Ford used that pin on almost all Fords with a tilt in that vintage. 1970-78 locking lever pin: secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/catch-locking-pawl-tilt-steering-column-repro-1970-1973-mercury-cougar-/-1970-1973.html

[@biartchnicyndi]

[@WestCoastClassicCougar]

Yes, to both questions! secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/catch-locking-pawl-tilt-steering-column-repro-1970-1973-mercury-cougar-/-1970-1973.html

[@howardbuehler8723]

how do i install the pilot pin's ????????

[@CANDYPAINTJAYOHIO]

gotta 78 Lincoln (garage find) it needs a column what year fords are interchangeable?

[@donwitnell9209]

I don't have any specs on columns after 1973. I do know there was minor changes in 1974 and later. I suggest you go to the Lincoln forums and I am sure someone help you. Good luck

[@brn2drm]

Hi there. Would you have a tilt column for a 1977-78 Mustang 2 car by chance?

[@WestCoastClassicCougar]

Sorry, we only stock parts for the 67 -73 Cougars. Have you tried reaching out to the guys on one of the Mustang forums?

[@michaelleblanc3210]

My 1970 LINCOLN mark 111 ,the tilt moves just by pushing the steering wheel up and down . It there supposed to be a release To do that?

[@rdlykryk4384]

On my '69 Mk III the turn signal lever when pushed toward the dash acts as the release.

in my 1973 mustang mach 1

[@semsterrc5099]

How do u replace a ignition switch on a 77 cougar I had some one try to steal my car and ruined my ignition switch please help

[@emergencyoldfordparts2053]

hello I have a question I can use this pin for my 1969 ford ranchero

[@WestCoastClassicCougar]

The tilt mechanism is the same for most all Fords for each generation. The length of the tubes and shafts are what is different for the different car models. So the pins should be interchange year for year.

How I contact you?

[@Mach1club]

Insanely expensive to send to these guys, I found someone in Nashville to do it for way less. Like 1000 less.

[@70stangman22]

This is an old message but do you have the name of the company in Nashville. I sent my tilt to DW at WCCC twice and $1000 later and a lot of aggravation my 1970 column is actually worse. Don't want to relocate my ignition with aftermarket column but also don't want to throw more money at a lost cause.

[@TheMustangking1]

My tilt column in my 78 f250 makes a popping sound when turning left, what could be causing that? Will that pin work for my 78 f250? It slips out of position often.

[@donrush5690]

+TheMustangking1 Yes, sounds like you need the pin replacement. Sounds like your truck is unsafe to drive!

[@3msushi41]

Crazy.... 2 pins for over $40!?!
