Check where your column connects to the intermediate shaft just under the hood. You should have a large thick washer and a spring between the column end and the coupler. If it is missing it will allow the column to move in and out. This is what tensions the column shifter detents which would help with your embarrasing floppy shifter.
If it is still not parking in the right spot you can adjust the down-rod. The adjuster is right at the column under the hood. Another thing to check is the pivot point at the frame. After 35 years of shifting the hole can become oblong which will change your shift. I have welded a washer to the side of it to bring it back to a good snug fit.
