Hey, I've been reading through old posts and my eyes are tired, could not find the anser I was looking for. Picked up a 84 tilt column with wipers on the column with turn signals. Wondering who has done this swap? Looks like I need to use the rag joint from the 84. Also need to use the ignition switch from the 73. And the shaft to the ignition switch looks to be different lengths.
Couple reasons I'm doing this, put different seats in and want the wheel sitting a little lower, also like the idea of having more control over my wipers.
Thanks
 
Got it in,all good. 84 switch and shaft were no problem, just had to flip the connection. Put the neutral saftey swich from the 73 on the column. Used the 84 rag joint. I still need to wire in the wipers and washer, I think I found some wiring diagram for that on another board. Will not use the cruise or the dimmer function.

I did that in my 79, I just used the entire 88 K5 wire harness in my K10 when doing the TBI conversion.
