ok i am seeing parts online for various prices... its asking auto or manual or tilt :roll:

also anywhere from 130 to 160 bucks.

after it should be good to go. if i can find the right one i would hate to have to change the column over a switch.

For the dash wiring I left lots more slack on the connections than required, so I could work on the fully connected cluster out of the...
