Default 75 corvette telescoping

I just purchased a 75 corvette that the steering column parts were in a box. This is my first corvette and I have everything together but I can't tell if the telescoping lock goes under the star screw. I ask because the star screw was already installed in the column and I can't tell from the diagrams I have found. Thanks

Yes, the lock ring goes under the star screw. Then 2 screws go into the lock ring and the star screw.

Good pic here, post #8. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...t-working.html
