It's not the rods that need adjusting, it is the ignition switch and dimmer switch mounted to the steering column under the dash that needs adjusting.

i need help,, as i am on my own with this car here,,no one knows anything about the electrics,,,switches etc,,,,,,steve sydney australia,,,,,,,,,,,,,,apart from that this car hauls *** over 2000rpm,,,when it gets moooovin...its like a mack truck,

 

Loosen the mounting screws for the ignition and dimmer switch and that will allow you to move it fwd and back. Adjust it so that the ignition works as expected, then adjust the dimmer switch. Tighten down and you're good to go.

Hope this helps.

Yeah,
i had the same problem i just an new ignation switch and you just have to adjest everthing.my friend titlted the wheel and now i am having the same problems so i gotta drop the collum and do it agian.but adjust it and bolt it up then try. do that over and over. because when you have the collum droped then the angles of the rods chaNGE and its differnt when the collum is bolted up. so its kinda a pain in the *** but you gotta go back and fourth.But its worth it. the reason mine breaks when i titlt my collum is because.............well its broke.
