Good guess.   The switch is mounted on the side of the steering mast
jacket and has slotted holes for just this kind of adjustment.   Can't
remember if the screw heads or nuts  are 5/16 or 11/32.  (8-9 mil).

Remove the 2 nuts just under the ****eld and only looswen the one
closer to the firewall.   The job is fairly straight forward.  You
want to move the switch in the direction of pull when you turn the
key.
