I recently downloaded a document titled "GMC Motorhome Maintenance & Information Notes" dated February, 1993. In that collection of notes was the following bolded comment:
3A) Steering
Steering 17.5:1 ratio 2.95 turns lock to lock
A} Miscellaneous Steering
a) Center steering wheel: adjust, tie rods equally on opposite directions. b) Steering centering device: SAFE-T-PLUS $325 -
United Safety Apparatus Inc, 2150 Moreland Avenue S.E.,
Atlanta GA 30315. 800-872-7233 404-66~,1341
c) Telescoping steering wheel: Use column from;'68 to 76 Buick/Olds/Cad. reprint of procedure $3 from editor
Use from 74 to 78 full size GM cars

d) U shaped steering wheel: From 85/86 Olds Cutlass Supreme will fit and allow a better
view of dash.

The author, John N. Engebretsen PE, appears to have passed away. Is anyone familiar with the author's comment of "Reprint of procedure $3 from editor"? I am certain it's not too involved but perhaps some of the wiring is different. I have a 1972 Olds 98 Tilt/Tele I would like to swap in.

Thanks for any help.
