To prevent scratching the paint from the shift pointer and make for easier reinstall I remove the pointer and slide it back into place after the column is bolted into place. Good Luck!

How do you get it back in to place in the gauge cluster. I have turned and flipped and tried about everything I can to get it back into the gauge cluster correctly. I did remove it from the steering column thinking it would be easier, but now I can't get it back in the cluster oriented correctly.

Hmm, I don't remember any issues, but remove the three nuts supporting the column to the dash allowing it to drop a bit and the pointer should go in easily.

2 rods/nuts supporting the column of a '66. No knowledge of a difference in clearance between '66 and '67 lower dash panel.

You are correct Mitch, as usual my brain was thinking in '67 Chevelle terms, and the move to collapsible steering column...
