I was set on using this column until someone advised me that using a 70's GM column would be easier due to the wiring. I'm not real sure why that would be easier other than the fact there are less wires on the old ones...seems to me I could use the new one and just ignore the un needed wires, but maybe thats just me being naive? I also don't plan on doing much of the wiring so i don't know. can anyone shed some light? thanks
