Anyone know of a shop that rebuilds steering columns in Ontario? Can't get the directional signal lever to work properly....

Nope, he said it was fine. The lever is super hard to move and won't cancel...

Sounds like you just need a new signal switch.

Is the wheel loose side to side, up down?

 No, wheel is tight. No side to side, no up/down play. No noise, rubbing or scratchiness.  It's a tilt column though, not a standard.

There is a guy out of the Hamilton area who rebuilds nothing but 60s and 70s GM columns.

I will see if I can find the link.

 The turn signal lever really doesn't have anything to do with the column, nor not wanting to cancel.  It's the signal switch.

 Does the lever thread in or does a screw hold it down?

ABC123...Thanks for the lead

The column is a Tilt column, if it was just a standard column I've had them apart before.  On 66 B body Chev

On my 63 Pontiac, the tilt column was a totally different beast, almost top to bottom. I was able to find schematics on its parts, maybe something in the assembly manual? I have a 63 Chev assembly manual, never did find one for a 63 CP.

Not a simple column to repair or take apart. A lot of very fragile plastic and small unobtainium parts. I finally found some info on a Oldsmobile website, just dumb luck. I've looked everywhere for assembly procedures. To remove the signal switch entails taking 50% of the column apart and any instructions caution of fragile plastic, not reproduced parts.
Hard to believe the most mass produced car ever, 66 Chev, at over 1 million, the lack of parts and info. Any eye opener for sure...
