I asked this earlier in this posting.What are you using for pump mounting brackets?Is there any other pulley that can be used on the damper to run the P/S pump besides an original Ford pulley which seem to sell for a good dollar on Ebay when they are listed.Sorry missed this one somehow. I actually dont run a y-block, running a 302 so it probably wont help you out much. Im installing the granada pump using a March p/s pump bracket for the 302 engine.

I wonder why the difference?? No wonder mine seems to be "In my Face"... I need to research this farther.

No problem. lyonroad that looks like where the dash bracket was, my dash is out right now to so cant tell for sure, but I believe thats where it was, which puts it about 9-1/2" - 9-5/8" range.

Well isn't that interesting, because, like I said, mine measures 10 5/8. I'll have to put the seat in and make sure I get it right. Thanks.

CT, Good stuff. Thanks again. Mark, my column is measures 12.5" from the top of the dash support bracket to the top of the bell which is almost 3" longer. Which kind of makes sense because the '55 steering wheel is flat and the '56 is dished.

For me ct, it looks like the dash support bracket was located at about the 23" mark, which leaves 9 5/8 to the top which is about 1" less in your face for the '56 vs the '55. Thanks.

From steering box to the steering wheel mount is 32-5/8". Then of course the steering shaft (which I have cut off already) sticks out a couple inches or so for the wheel to attach to, but this should get you close

CT, Could I ask a favor of you? While you have the steering column out, could you measure the length for me. I LeCarra wheel in my '55 Ranch feels like it's 'In My Face'. I know the '56 is shorter, just need to know how much and to determine if it's feasible to switch out.
Thanks.I can do that, maybe not for a few days though. I am swapping columns and I cut the steering shaft off last night so my friend could take it home with him to work on the next move with the universal column and rag joint. So I will need to get the 2 shaft pieces back at the same place to measure it. Now the outer tube wasn't altered and I could place that back on and measure that if it would help, otherwise I might be able to get the 2 pieces together over the weekend sometime and see what it is. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Not surprising to see multiple dulicate posts.Its VERY slow to upload and you think maybe "I didn't hit the button hard enough".Its easy enough to delete the duplicate.I had a bad flashback on Thursday when I logged on and only got those weird messages we used to get about "site not available" etc.
