Can someone with a tilt column help me out please? Is the knob chrome like a Caprice or black like an Impala?

Hmm, ok, yes that should help. I was expecting you would say chrome!

I have to buy tilt and signal levers and I was thinking that chrome might look better than black, since I have a red interior.

Sometimes it's the little decisions...........

I have a feeling its the same as the 10 bolt/12 bolt thing.  Each would be correct but every signal light stalk I've ever seen on a  65/66 Canadian Poncho was black so probably the tilt stalks were black too. I agree chrome would be cooler.

Just consider the chrome knob another option if you like it best Carl.

I have those levers and they make me think of the US cars when I see them. I like the look of them but other than the GP emblem in the grille (which I prefer vs the Canadian "Pontiac"" grille emblem), I am trying to keep my car looking Canadian.
