1855 Power Steering Question

I am tinkering with 1855 a little bit. How high should the steering coulum protrude above the dash? Do I want the steering wheel about flush or should it be up a couple of inches?

Thanks
David

Just got in and I'll take a look at my 1655 tommoro,and let you know.I'll have to give you the measurements from the parts 1655 as the one I use has a power steering box etc: off a chev truck so the steering wheel sits a bit different. Larry

Made a little progress today. Started bending pipe from the valve to the cylinder. Defendant learning curve bending the tube as I wasted as much as was put on today. And i am still not happy with it! Think I will tee the pressure line and put a gauge on the dash. Once the plumbing is done, need to brainstorm a dash panel, might be stainless.

Back tracked some today, didn't like the way cylinder mounting looked cobbled together, cut off and started over. No pictures today,but it looks better and is adjustable. Waiting on a new tubing bender to arrive before more tube gets done.

Look what I found in a parts box!
