    My column needs to be rebuilt, the column is cracked and the "safety" action, (Pull back motion) seems to be broke.

    I stumbled across a web site that repairs these, as I guess it is common, does anyone know that web site or can recommend a re-builder?

    I am in Riverside Ca

    As far as the shifter, I would like to stay stock, I do have the floor shifter from my mustang that is being changed to a 5 speed, but I wanna keep the column shift just because 64 was the first year (late model) that came with the C4, Good price though!! Thanks

    Sheesh Rev. That's a heck of an F&M site! I know you've posted it a few times. First time that I look there. Feels like S&M, when I see all that F&M, so up close.:rofl2:

    Way to go! I remember those selector lights. The diecast holder looked precarious even new.
