73 tilt telescope assembly?
Tilt had some play, so I Disassembled the tilt telescope column. When re assembling the lock assembly, I have lost the detents. Start is spring loaded, the lock and key removal is good. Have no run, or accessory detention. Does this indicate the switch activator rack piece did not attach to the ignition switch acuator rod? Also is the key buzzer clip necessary for anything other than buzzing? Thnx.

Everything seemed to be good! However, the steering shaft is definitely more snug as well. A quick road test demonstrated that it is a little slow to self center after turning and it doesn't "wiggle" around. I did grease the bearings, shaft and tilt ball joint as well as tighten the 4 bolts on the saddle joint. Typical after a refresh?
