Thanks to everybody who responded to my question about my indicators not
working - I'll be tracing wires when I return from my latest business trip
(Susquehanna PA and Lovell, WY) in two weeks. 

In the meantime, as I was poking around last night I noticed that the
steering play that I thought was in the rack actually seems to be in the
universal joint that attaches the column to the rack. So this brings the
question, any pointers as to how to remove it? It is hard to get at behind
the front suspension mount. Next question, is this part the same on a 74 as
on a 77? I have a low mileage parts car, ~34,000 supposedly a real number,
but frame completely rotten from sitting in a barn for fifteen years. If
the joint is in good shape I would love to use it and save a few $$.
