How does ignition actuator rod and switch hook together?

I had the sloppy steering wheel problem, and have it fixed, but my brother took everything apart so I don't know how that linkage goes back together, I've been out there staring at it forever and I just don't see a spot for this linkage to hook up into it.. someone have a picture to get me in the right direction?



Basically, how does #76 hook up with #80

Here you go, it connects to #44 in your picture.

The other end goes into #80 on your picture, the ignition switch assembly.

It goes into the little slot that I have circled in this picture and marked with an "X".

ohhh, I I figured it out.

so should I wait until I get ignition tumbler in place before I set the rod in the slot?

the picture says second indent from the left as "off lock", is that just the tumbler in the acessory on position? And then when the tumbler is turn to start position the slider moves to the far left which engages the starter? I'm just trying to understand how that switch/slider works.
