David's right. The difference is in the turn signal switch. I made an
adapter out of a couple of notched pieces of PVC pipe in about five
minutes. Works great.

The splines on the 71-79 are all the same, the reason for the different
adapter for the 78/78 wheel is that the turn signal cancel cam clips on the
shaft of the71-77, but is part of the steering wheel itself in 78/79.
Without the unique adapter, the turn signals won't cancel on a 78/79 car.
