    If using a tilt column get one 31" long, and a 6" column drop. Note that the column can be shortened without too much difficulty, but if you order it too short, you're pooched---you can't stretch them suckers. It also is a big help if you have your engine and exhaust manifolds or headers in place, because this will determine at what height off the floor your column exits thru the firewall. As a rule of thumb, the column should extend 1 1/2" to 3" thru the firewall into the engine compartment. I just went thru all this about 7 or 8 months ago with the roadster pickup.
