Anyone know how to move the steering column closer to the steering wheel? Can it be moved independent of the steering shaft? Added a Lecarra wheel and it is close enough to the horn ring to make it blow?

There's a saddle for the column under the dash that holds the column in with two bolts. Loosen these two bolts and you will be able to slide the column up or down.

Hey thanks, but I have taken those (2) bolts all the way off as well as the bolts on the firewall boot. The housing doesn't move.

Sometimes the housing can be stubborn, especially after 34 years. Pry up between the housing and the steering box.

you have to unscrew where the column clamps to the rubber retaining plate at the firewall. look at where the column meets the firewall.

Try spinning the column to get it loose.
