factory steering wheel installation issues
1970 GMC...pulled the OE steering wheel (non tilt) to install a new hazard switch. I go to install the wheel and cant get the splines to align for the wheel to slip onto. It will slip over splines without the cancel cam but does not want to with the cam installed. I have 1 thread exposed with the wheel and could torque it with a ratchet, but I figure that will do more harm than good. I have been struggling with this for a while...I just want to drive. Any suggestions?

Re: factory steering wheel installation issues
I got it...Not sure if this is common but I remembered when I pulled the wheel that the steering shaft had about 1/2-1 inch on play up and down. I pulled up on the shaft and voila I was able to seat it ln the splines and tighten the nut. I had taken it off a couple months ago, then had back surgery. Trying to get back into it.

It sounds like you may be missing some parts at the base of your column on the engine side. Compare this picture to the lower end of your column and make sure the large washer and spring are there. LockDoc |
