Need HELP! 79 tilt steering column into a 74 EB wiring ?

[mofoco1]

I need to install a 79 steering column if memory serves right it was from a Bronco, could have been a van though? auto tilt column into my 74? I did the same thing years ago and can't remember what pin needs to be removed from the 79 column to match up with the connector on the 74 harness? If it makes a difference it doesn't have the ignition on the column.If all goes as planned I will have the 74 column stock steering wheel and half ring for sale. .Mo in Clovis,

I saved this text from somewhere, back in 07
I hope it helps...

I finally finished wiring up my 79 tilt column in my 71 F100. The only reason I'm finished is because the inspection is up and my horn hasn't worked since I did the switch. Now all is working.

I saw the post on the 67 wiring, well the 71 wiring is even easier. My column doesn't have cruise. Just tilt.

79 white red is hazard switch. I didn't use this one. I kept the hazard switch on my dash. You could easily wire the 79 column switch in if you like.

79 Blue/red is the indicator light. I didn't hook it up. If you want to hook it up, just splice in to your dash lights. No big deal.

79 yellow = ground for the horn. The 78/79 horn has two wires. The yellow is the ground, so ground it out.

79 dark Blue to 71 Blue yellow
79 light green to 71 light green
79 orange blue to 71 orange blue
79 light blue to 71 light blue
79 green white to 71 green white
79 green orange to 71 green orange
79 white blue to 71 white blue

Thats it. No big deal. Just took me a while to figure out the horn thing. All the other wires match up color wise.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the the '73 wiring diagrams:
red/black stripes to brake light switch
green/white stripes to LH front turn signal
white/orange stripes to emergency flasher
yellow/brown stripe (I could only find yellow/black stripe to LH rear turn signal)
white/blue stripe to RH front turn signal
blue to turn signal flasher
blue/red stripe to "PRNDL" lights (you wont need the wire to the "PRNDL" light since you have a manual shift.)
green to RH rear turn signal
yellow/blue to horn relay

78 Steering Column Pin-out:
White / Blue to Front Right Turn Signal & Indicator Light
Green / White to Front Left Turn Signal & Indicator Light
Black / Red to Stop light switch
Yellow/Black to Rear Left Turn Signal Light & Brake Light
Light Green to Rear Right Turn Signal Light& Brake Light
Blue to Turn Signal Flasher
White/red stripe is for the Hazard lights
Blue/Red stripe - Gear selector courtesy Light
Lg.Yellow/green dots --Horn

*Note. Wiring code changes if cruise control is used.


Cheers
