 I’ll get the financial means to buy a new engine  this summer?   A
 lot of people seems to have dropped off?

No bearing is inside turn signal switch , cam rides against bearing.There is a 
drawing in assm. manual If you have one.

 Having not disassembled the column I am making some uninformed 
 assumptions.  Is the turn signal cam the upper bearing also?

 bearing? Dan

  There are bushings/bearings inside the
 column but the problem is
  going to be finding the components.
 Classic Muscle shows a few components still available but most 
 say
 call or discontinued. Guess
  its possible that once you have the
 unit apart, you could match the
  components to an off the shelf item.
 Good luck! Dan
  It is a mistake to allow any
 mechanical object to realize you are in
  a hurry.

  Is there any way to rebuild a 65

  must
 
  be bushings inside that wear. My
 column moves laterally way too
