Default 79 Tilt & Tele steering column problems
Does anyone have a good blown up e-drawing or pictures of the 79 tilt and telescpoping column? The ones in the parts resellers catalogs like Corvette Central don't show enough detail. I am having two problems with re-assembly. One is the horn parts down inside the column the other is the telescoping portion parts. I'm not sure how to put the spring loaded part in for the horn. On the telescoping portion I am not sure I have all the right parts and what the sequence of re-assembly is.
Thanks in advance.

Here is a blowup of a typical T&T column. It shows the upper telescoping parts.

Here is a blowup from the AIM on the steering wheel and upper column parts:
