1974 k5 blazer wont shift

i recently updated my steering column on my 74 k5 from non-tilt to tilt. I had some issues with the ignition switch on the tilt column. replaced the switch. and read directions as well!!! lol so truck starts in park and neutral but it will not allow me to shift out of park or neutral when its running. I can shift it once I shut the truck off..... Any advice???

I'm going to guess your problem is with your lock cylinder. I have not had this apart but the lock prevents you from shifting from park, so maybe the orientation is incorrect?

I'm assuming this all worked before you took it apart?

yeah my blazer is a 74 and column was sourced from a 77 blazer. the problem was in my ignition switch that I replaced. a simple adjustment of the switch got everything back in working order..
