Default 76 Column

I am new to the Corvette rebuild. I have a '76 that I got as a theft recovery and my current problem is in the column. They beat the tar out of the lock cylinder to unlock the wheel. I have cleaned up the mess as best I can and got a new cylinder but when it goes in it automatically rotates forward about a 1/8th inch, allows me to turn it forward to the start/run position but then wont rotate back far enough for me to get the key out. Is the ’76 equipped with the key going backward into the accessory position? If so, it won’t let me do that either. Is there something I can adjust?
