I’ve parted 71-72 Chargers and a 72 Road Runner just came my way with a bad ignition switch and other issues.

I disassembled the column for service. I have parts from 2 Charger columns in boxes and used the cleanest stuff. Upon reinstall the shaft inow too short to mesh on the coupler.
I checked the break way pins and they are all in tact on all shafts.

I have 3 shafts.
A. 1 in the column, too short .
B. 1 same length and the
C. last is 1-2 “ longer.


I’m puzzled.

The columns parted were
71 Charger PS Floor shift
72 Charger PS column shift
72 RR PS floor shift


Thanks in advance
