Hey Scott
Haven't posted in long time because when 2k guys all know same thing, kinda hard to add anything of value.
Seeing I just did this again a week ago it's still fresh. I had to swap out the actual broken tilt housing. As low as you can go in GM tilt.
Anyway...
The piece you have trouble with is the key switch sector slide. It mates with the steering lock pin in the upper column cup.
You need to work the key switch and get them to go together.
Photobucket is down or I'd post some pix.
This guide might help you out better than I can explain:

Most pre '95 GM columns are all the same so pay no attention that its a Fiero column.
If not, pm me and I can walk you thru.
