I pulled the aftermarket wheel and sold it at the R&G swap.. Yesterday I put on a stock wheel from a 73 (car is a 71) and the splines match, but there's a big gap between the wheel and the housing, and the turn signals won't cancel. What's going on here?

the shaft itself is different from a '73 compared to the early (pre '73 cars) ...
also, the whole assembly, turn signal levers etc. is different. the wheel will fit the spline, but it won't fit the rest of the column ... btw. switching columns won't work either. not only uses the later column different mounting points, it also uses completely different wires/plugs. it's not worth all the trouble for just a steering wheel as you'd have to also switch over the complete main wiring harness to make the later column work correctly. which is, btw., exactly what i did in my car ...
