The steering column should be black.
Formula wheel is an upgrade from build.
Front valance was originally plastic - amber capsules were for plastic vals only.
It takes a special GM hardware kit to adapt ambers into metal vals - so it was probably a warranty or dealer performed replacement earlier on.
The lettering on the original spare looks way Huge'r than the other tires.
I'd like to see a picture of the white letters on the spare if you ever get a chance.
Or maybe im under an illusion - they just look SUPER HUGE on the back side of spare.
Way to fukn go Man !
Congrats again and again

On the Firestone 500s, the white letters are small on the front side and the black outline letters are huge on the back side.
I will pull the rear seat this weekend to see if I can find the broadcast sheet and verify the steering wheel selection. My Gramma's 1975 has the exact same interior and originally had the very wheel you are referring to...like an IDIOT, it threw it out 20 years ago, when I put a Formula wheel on that car. It was perfect.
Anyone have two perfect, tan, three spoke wheels they can spare?
The Formula wheel on the 73 is near NOS, with the grain and molding ridges completely intact. It must have been put on very early it its life.
If anyone has the vacuum hose diagram for the TCS system, please post it. The hoses to the solenoid on the valve cover as well as the thermostic vacuum valve on the intake are disconnected.
I was thinking the same thing on the valance. Must have been a warranty job very early (like on delivery). The bolts holding the valance are untouched - the valance must have gone on once, and never came off again - no wear mark rings in the paint. I may start working on that blue, polyethylene "Franken-valance" that I repaired a few years ago.
