How did you get the chunk of indicator out? Did you have to take it apart?

I think I'm having the same problem. I installed a 70's ish van tilt column in my 65' and the indicator was broken while installing it. I put the gear shifter what I thought was all the way up in park and hooked the rod to the transmission, but it would only shift down to drive.

I'm fairly certain its not going all the way up to Park, but I cant be sure because the indicator is busted out and I've never had that particular model of column so I don't know how far up it needs to be positioned to be in park.

Also I dont have to pull the gear shift towards me to lower gears. So theres another mark in the "not going all the way up" column.
