C6 Lokar shift kit

I just finished rebuilding my 1975 C6. I picked up a Lokar shift kit and need to install some of the Lokar bracketry prior to installing the C6. The instructions first say to place the C6 into park, but I don't know how to recognize I've placed it into park, or any of the gears for that matter. If someone could give me a crash course on the lever/gear position with the C6 out of the truck?

That in not a shift kit but a shift cable, shift kits go inside the valve body.

As for park put the output yoke in and turn it. If it turns it's not in park.
Park will be at one end or the other of the lever. So move lever all the way in one direction and turn yoke as I said above.
Once you found park the rest if need to find are easy.

Yes, I forget a shift kit is technically for the valve body. But I'm glad you knew what I meant. This is my 1st automatic trans rebuild (as obvious by my armature question). Thanks for the tip, so easy, yet I didn't even think of it!

The lever is one way for column shifts and the other for floor shifts. Like in a car.
