Default 72 Monte please help
I have a72, I have a 396 engine, I bought the big block steering shaft but the part that actually attaches to the steering wheel is too short does anybody know where I can get said part or what it is even?

No I bought the big block steering shaft, it doesn’t extend but I think the part that attaches to the actual steering wheel is too short
