Depending on the diameter you might want to get a telescopic wheel turn 
signal lever, it is about 3/4" shorter than the stock lever, Mine bent to 
clear the Grant 1760 without any trouble.

Grant makes several different sizes of covers, a #3 (stamped on face) will 
rub as you mention but a #2 will clear the column. I suspect you have a #3. 
An e-mail to grantproducts at sbcglobal.net should result in ordering information.

I am surprised that no-one has ever just made a 5/8"-3/4" spline adapter 
that would fit over the spline on a 64-66 steering column and mate with a 
later GM wheel (adapters still available). Everything is in compression so 
there should be no danger of slipping.
