1979 column
my gear selector goes into park when the selector is on neutral then on down the line until 1st when it hits my leg it stops lol
does it need to be replaced or is it a adjustment thing
also the turn signal doesn't say in place i have to hold it to keep them on
its a tilt wheel if that matters

Welcome to (FTE)!
Its an "adjustment thing" for sure, for the gear shifter!
The turn signal problem is the plastic cam in the column,needs replacing
P.S. is your tilt column tight and in good shape?

(DOOH, I just remembered, the neutral start switch for this year is on the trans, not the column, so when you are adjusting things, just adjust the linkage till the pointer suits your fancy.)

Look at the collar clevis pin hole holding the shifter in .
Is it oblong ?
There should also be a spring inside th collar pushing against the shifter to keep it solid without slop.
