Tilt column problems

[qksilver]

Bought a 78 2 wheel drive blazer 2 weeks ago. It had a 83? up column in it(wipers on turn signal stalk). Bought a tilt column off a member, got it Tuesday and installed it today. Before I installed it but after i took the old one out, I tried to turn the key switch to start position. It will go into accessory, lock and run but won't let me push to the start position.

The tilt mechanism is in great shape but it needs bearings and all the stalk but I now have a truck I can't start from the column.

Any idea's, adjustments etc? I put a new ignition switch in and I can manually push it to start..............


Thanks,
Steve
