Are you talking about one of the connectors being U shaped and the other one being a triangle?

At least if I recall right, the signal switch on the tilt is down low on the column, non tilt is right under the steering wheel at the top.

  First of all, are the wire colors or the physical connectors different? If it just the connector, re-pin the wires into your old connector to match the colors from the tilt column.

 Plus, make sure there is no 4-way flasher knob on the new tilt column. (Just an added thought since you are unsure of the year) If there is one, it is out of a '67-'68 car.

Ok that sounds correct. You should have a cable running out of the upper part of the column down to a switch that has a triangular shaped connector plugging into it.
