DLN351a 1 Report post Posted August 18, 2015 I have a really good 70 steering column including locks for the doors and would like to install it into my 69. My 69 ignition looked like it had been broken into at one time and fell apart when I took it out of the dash. The rest of the under dash wiring looks ok. I also have an under dash wiring for a 70 standard Cougar in excellent condition. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLN351a 1 Report post Posted August 18, 2015 Hi Thanks I have the 70 instrument cluster so that is not a problem. Also I have 70 Cougar conv and I like having the ignition on the column. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magician 13 Report post Posted August 20, 2015 Not that big a deal to do. I had a 70 in my 69 for years before going back original. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
