OK here it goes I have a 69 floor shift column and I cannot seem to figure out a way to get the Bearing housing, gear shift housing and column jacket to stay together. I have the two bolts installed just like the service manual states but I cannot seem to get the bolts to catch the column jacket. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that might be able to help me out.
attached is a copy of the service manual page and the arrows show the problem area I'm having.
Thanks

Have you installed the steering column-to-dash clamp yet? I think a peg might stick out of that clamp which engages the slot in the steering column jacket to prevent the steering column from turning.
 
Thanks for the response to answer the question no I was rebuilding the column in the garage I have not tried to install it as of yet.
