77 square body no start after replacing ignition switch

[PriscillaEversole]

Can anyone help please? Replaced ignition switch in 77 square body C20 tilt steering. Can’t get it out of park and ignition key turns freely!

At first take, sounds like you lost the little tab that goes between the bottom of the key cylinder and the sector gear that drives the rack that pulls the rod to do all of the ignition switch functions you are missing.

Google "chevy ignition rack"

Sounds like the little ignition rod.
