Re: [T3] Ignition Housing Unit for 1967 Squareback

["anthony&rhonda" <a.cole6@verizon.net>]

He did not mention anything about having to replace the entire steering
column.  He said that the housing unit will fit with no problem.  I will ask
him about the steering column.  Also, I checked the Type3 site and did not
see where anyone had listed a 67 they were parting out.  Please let me know.
Thanks.
