A Caprice steering column can be replaced by another as long as it matches. It if comes from another Caprice of that year, it will fit properly.
There is nothing to reset. After you replaced the fuel pump/sending unit assembly the gauge should have worked. Could be a faulty new sending unit on the new assembly. I had that happen with an aftermarket pump assembly. Bring it back and exchange it for another one.
Sticking to tradition was okay with her.
If the fluid level is fine, but the power steering isn't working, it's possible the pump has gone out. Another possibility is that the power steering belt is broken or slipping. It may need to be replaced or adjusted.
This may help, from another forum: My 300TE has started to lose power steering fluid. The reservoir drains over about a month, you can see the fluid on the base of the steering box :( . Is there a seal I can replace easily, or am I up for a lot of

a congregation is another name for a church assembly and more commonly used
mine just started the same thing. my mechanic says that he replaced a wire within the steering wheel and that did it for another vehicle - same model, year.
this is a common thing with GM tilt wheels. what has happened is the u joint in the column has come loose.can be repaired by removing steering wheel and turn signal assembly and then tighten up bolts. Another way is to find a repair shop that does "steering column repair",in Chicago most glass shops do.
Make sure you need to replace power steering pump before doing it. I have one 91 and one 90 ls400. both has steering fluid leak and I was told one need pump replaced,another need rack and pinion replaced. But I found a good mechanic ( or simply an honest mechanic) He said both cars has the return hose leak. and can be easily replaced with some regular hose at $30-50 part and labor. I got both fixed at $100 total. It saved me over 800 dollars at least.
Usually because they break or bend from careless or aggressive driving. Sometimes it isn't the axel itself, but another part, perhaps a CV Joint, and you can only get it as an assembly with the axel.
Basically on most models you disconnect the battery, remove the horn button assembly, steering wheel, and turn signal assembly to expose the ignition switch and retaining screw. Remove the switch and install your new one and put everything back together again. This takes a couple of tools like a steering wheel puller and a steering wheel spring compression tool. Another Model require you to drop the steering column fron the dash but you don't have to remove the steering wheel. A Chevy book from your local library would be a good way to start this job. See if it has ignition switch replacement section and if so check it out for a few days.It's about an hour job if you are prepared
