Gerashift indicator does not line up to letters properly

[csx452]

I had to replace the stop light switch in my 72 Dart, so I dropped the steering column to get at the bolt for the mounting bracket. When I put the column back up the car wouldn't start/ starter doesn't engage when turning the key. I noticed the gearshift indicator is now to the left of each letter instead of being centered on them. If I play with the shifter I can get the car to start in neutral but not in park. I know this has to be a simple fix, but I'm not sure what to do. Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank

Adjust the linkage till centered should fix it

Yeh. You probably got the column in just SLIGHTLY different position. There's a sliding clamp adjuster down by the transmission

You sound like a guy who could use a shop manual. Since you quite handily have a 72, download one for free right here:
