Steering wheel - turn signal gap

[sfizio]

Any ideas on why I have a large gap between my turn signal and steering wheel? The set screw holding the turn signal is at the edge of steering column so it cannot slide forward further. The wheel is seated as far back as it will go.

Never mind. Saw your duplicate post. Thanks

Is this a new problem?

What did you change?

Do you have the/any previous parts to measure? That is how you narrow-down and isolate your problem, you trace it back to the root cause from when the problem first arose.

On my 1964 (without locking ignition switch), it's a simple adjustment. Loosen steering column clamp (two nuts) and slide up.
I imagine yours would be similar with loosening the locking ignition switch to free the steering column and pull up.
The wear mark on the steering column where the wire harness goes to the dash would suggest it's been like this for a long time. Is the steering wheel a replacement? That would be another explanation.

Yeah, pretty weak, OP @sfizio shoulda terminated this thread, got his response and moved on.
