column not straight

And I am not really sure that they would have any affect on causing the steering column to be tipped to one side or the other.

Jim, sorry if you get this twice. I removed all brackets to install new dash. After reassembly on my first drive I notice that the column isn't perfectly straight from the floor. I suspect that I can loosed the 4 bolts throught the slotted holes and correct this situation. Does that sound reasonable? I thought I centered them when I reassembled but apparently not.

we pulled the dash apart and the issue seems to be that the "wedges" or spacers that bolt K goes through were incorrectly installed, one was inverted.
