Tilt Steering Column Installation
TILT STEERING COLUMN INSTALLATION
1. Determine the floor mount you intend to use and dash board clamp or column drop.
(See Flaming River Catalog or flamingriver.com)
2. Position the floor mount at the bottom of the steering column. Do not fully tighten the mount until the
column is in its final position.
3. Install the column in the vehicle and install the dash clamp or column drop to hold the column in
place. Next, re-adjust floor mount to fit snug to the floor and make any final adjustments before
tightening all the clamps.
4. Install the turn signal arm using the phillips screw provided. Then the tilt arm, and finally the hazard
knob using the allen screw provided.
5. Connect the GM 4-1/4” male plug to your vehicle wiring harness.
INSTALLING THE STEERING WHEEL
The spline on your new Flaming River
steering column is a GM spline designed
from 69 to present steering wheels without
an airbag. The horn wire is furnished with
your steering column and is pre-installed into
the canceling cam.
NOTE: Ignition Rod must move free and
clear to function. Please make sure it is
not binding in your column mount.
