Steering Wheel **TILT PLAY**
My steering wheel seems like it is not stuck in place. I can freely move it up and down parked and when driving. Im guessing a bolt or screw somewhere is missing on the tilt portion. Steering is fine and I dont have any other play except up and down.
Anyone know what could be the exact problem?

Here is a write up that should help you solve your problem. My steering column had the same issue. There are 4 bolts deep inside the assembly that were loose. I used this guide to disassemble the column and tighten up the screws.
Hope this help.

The above paper describes the disassembly of a Saginaw tilt column. Tilt columns are similar to Corvette tilt and telescoping columns. However, there are some basic differences.
This paper describes some quick tests that you can perform to try to determine the cause of your T&T column looseness.

If the problem is the four support screws loosening, I would suggest that you remove the steering column from the car in order to gain better access to the column parts as you disassemble the head.
Complete instructions can be found at www.corvettefaq.com in the Steering Section under 69-82 Tilt & Telescoping Strg Column Disassembly & Repair papers.
