I'll find one somewhere.I can probably get one from a salvage yard,probably will get a few,but with the weather like it is,I don't know when.Massive snow today (massive for southern Oklahoma).Until then,I figured I have nothing to lose by trying here.I also need the rocker assemblies.Someone has to have this  laying around somewhere.LOL.

Hey Vinnie, I think I have a tilt lever for you.  If you want I can send it with the tan console lid.

SWEEEEET !! Just PM me when you're ready.If you're pulling the lever from a salvage car,take a cloth or something to protect during removal so it doesn't get mangled.Thanks !!!!!

I already have the console lid, I've just been too busy to snap some pics of it for you because I'm moving this weekend.  The tilt lever is on a spare column that I have laying around.

Do you have what you need? Why are you looking for stock?
I got something if it don't work out,.
Title: Rocker arm assemblies and tilt lever....
Post by: vinnietbird on February 12, 2010, 04:13:16 PM
I'm going to put them on the current engine so I can sell the roller rockers to fund some other stuff for the Sport.If 88Turbo has what I need,then yes,I'm good on what I asked for.I'll leave the thread open until the parts are here.

I'm probably going to install 1.7 roller rockers on the "P" engine.What do you have Kitz?

Post by: Watchdevil on February 12, 2010, 07:27:16 PM
Vinnie, I'll try get you a tilt lever as soon as I can get a day off and the weather is good. I know for sure there are a few out there. I need to go back and find a few things for myself. I also still have my 1984 style black one but I should have no trouble getting the correct one that you want.

Post by: vinnietbird on February 12, 2010, 10:07:09 PM
If it's a black lever,and it'll fit my column,I'm good with that.Thanks a lot.

I could not possibly let you get by without matching the turn and wiper levers... The shame of even thinking of doing so! LOL!

Vinnie, Did you get your tilt lever yet? I wasn't 100% sure I had an extra one so I've been meaning to look and finally did. I do have one, the part closest to the threads will nead painted, I think it was removed with vise grips. But other than that it looks to be in good shape. I tried taking pics. they're blurry but give you an idea if interested. I can post it in my sale thread if you'd like.

I sent Vinnie the one I had original from my car. I had planned at some point going back to the salavage yard and getting him one that is styled for the 85-88.
