Default '82 tilt/telescoping steering wheel problem

Will someone provide me with a clear diagram and explanation on the installation of the steering wheel mechanism. I have had mine off so long I have forgotten how to reassemble. I have all the parts; extension collar, steering wheel, spacer, telescopic lock, star screw, etc. I don't understand how the telescoping lock works (lever hole??). I suspect I will have a few issues with the horn button assembly also. If you have the time, I need the help.

Here is a paper on adjusting the telescope feature on a T&T steering wheel, lock, and horn parts.

Just follow the paper in reverse order.
Here is the same picture from the above paper.

Got it! Thanks for the diagram and link. It turns out I was not putting the spacer on before the Lever and the upper contact arm was not pushing down on the eyelet spring assembly. I am back on tract. Will finish up tomorrow. Thanks Jim.
