On the '56 Plymouth, is the rubber boot at the base of the steering column different on a PS and manual car?
I can't answer the question but as a piece of trivia the Chrysler manufacturing word for that part is the Duffy Pad. I never knew why..we just called it that in the plant. When I was assembling the steering column into my '33 Plymouth I picked up the pad and on the bottom it said Duffy Manufacturing. Detroit Michigan. We just never know why things are called what they are sometimes... Duffy probably went out of business years ago but their name lives on. You might find that name on the bottom of your 56's pad.
