Default 1967 Tilt Column Range of Motion

Hello All,

I just purchased a true 1967 RS/SS that is very well optioned. Tilt column, Deluxe interior, 4Spd w/Console and gauges, factory tach, factory rear window defogger, 12 bolt posi, power disc (frnt) brakes, power steering, AM/FM radio. My question is regarding the range of motion for the tilt column. When tilted fully in the UP position, it is aligned with what would be the standard, non-tilt column position. When I tilt the wheel, it tilts down quite far. I had a 1968 Firebird years ago that also had a tilt column and it seemed that the upper range of the tilt put the wheel in a farther UP position than stock.

Am I imagining or does someone have correct range of motion for the factory column?

Thanks. I would send pictures but I will not be picking up the car until late next week.

Welcome, Dad, to the Club.
Reads like a nice '69.
I believe the upper range limit is like an inch away from the dash?
I would think upper range would be more than stock non-tilt setting.

Thanks Everett. It’s actually a ‘67, but still. It almost seems as if the tilt mechanism was installed upside down or there is something obstructing it. Will have to take a closer look when I get her home.

Apprecoate the response!
