Calling all folks with 70's van tilt columns!

[ConradBSomething]

Hoping a few of you who have installed the chevy van column can help me out a little.

I just installed one in my 65 and I noticed it doesn't seem to be going all the way up in park. I put the shifter as far up as it went and attached the shift linkage, but it'll only shift as low as 3rd gear (drive). It doesn't seem to be going into park but here's the thing....I can't really tell. The indicator broke off while I was trying to paint the column so I don't know for sure.

I found a thread with a fella with the same problem, he figured out he had a chunk of the busted indicator stuck in the column keeping it from going all the way up. It's REAL old so that threads dead.

I'm hoping maybe some body has had a similar problem or can tell me where the gear shift is positioned when in park (1o'clock 2 o'clock ?)even better maybe a picture of there column from straight on so I can gauge the shifters position when in park.

Thanks in advance for any help!
