1966 Thunderbird steering column bearing sleeve

[GinettaG12P]

I have a 1966 Thunderbird with a swing-away steering wheel that needs a new upper steering column bearing sleeve. There is some ambiguity about whether the Ford sleeve, part number C5SZ-3518-A, will fit my car. Could someone please verify that this is the right part for my car, or provide the correct part number if it is not. Thanks.

I need to replace mine as well but not sure how to.

If you still require these parts and have not figured it out I will tell you what I did. Due to the fact thses columns are bad for jumping out of park I replaced the parts with a shift lever detent kit from my supplier who gets his stock from Mac's Antique Auto Parts. It comes with the bearing and all related parts http://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_thunderbird/catalogsearch/result/?q=shift+lever+detent+kit
