Pull on the tilt lever and move the wheel to where you like it...then release the tilt lever? That's what I do.

It's on the left side of the steering column. It's really short, about 4 to 5 inches and behind the turn signal.

It may have fallen out, tilt lever that is. Mine does occasionally, as it needs to be put in with a little loctite and love.
The tach is pointing at it

84-89 had the tilt and telescoping steering wheel columns.
90-96 only had the tilt wheel feature. No telescoping feature probably because 90-96 steering columns had air bags.
