Default ignition switch

my 71 would not turn over i could pull it and it started. so that eliminated a lot of things, it ended up being the hot wire from the switch on the column to the solenoid on the starter. took out the ignition switch i could not put it back in so pulled the steering column out ( i have tilt steering ) so called for # 105 but the rod that goes from key to the ignition switch is laying flat on the column and the part that goes into the switch is perpendicular to the column it looks like it needs to turn side ways to fit in switch and turning the key it moves the wrong way, i had two older guys look at it they could not remember how that rod went into the switch I NEED HELP thanks
