1957 Chevy Straight Floor Shift Steering Column - Chrome

Original Harness
For vehicles with an original factory harness, a 4-way flasher kit is included in your installation kit.  This 4-way flasher kit will not only add safety to your vehicle, but will also convert your original wiring harness to the 3 7/8" plug found on your ididit column.

Aftermarket Harness
Many aftermarket wiring companies offer replacement harnesses that incorporate a 4-way flasher unit as well as the flat 3 7/8" plug.  If you are using one of these harnesses, a 4-way flasher kit is not necessary.

Floor Mount
A new floor mount is required for ALL installations.  The original will not fit the ididit steering column.

Power Box
A rag joint is required if using a power box.  The rag joint has 2 different functions.  One, as a coupler between the lower shaft of the column and the input shaft of the gearbox.  Two, as a vibration reducer which helps isolate pulsations commonly felt from the power steering pump.

Manual Box
If using the original box the shaft will need to be cut and modified and a coupler will need to be installed.

No Box Specified
If you are unsure whether you are using a box or a rack, give us a call and we can help determine what you have and what application will work the best.
