Default 77 corvette Steering column

I have a 77 corvette however having problems with steering wheel up and down movement.
the car has a telescopic steering column. I think previous owner may have tried to rectify problem. However problem still exists. Steering column head is tight but steering wheel is loose.
I have disassembled top end down to the top bearing. Can anybody please tell me what parts and in the correct order for re assembly.
Have also found a tapered spacer but not sure where this belongs.
