anyone have any ideas for this problem the assembled length of the steering column is apx 1 inch to short to reach the gear when bolted under the dash . I had to remove that bracket and move it towards the steering wheel only allowing me to use only 1 bolt per side that allowed the assy to move towards the gear see pics thanks for any ideas

On a B-body the shaft was a different length for power and manual steering. You got the right column?

Post a few pics of the column. Seems that it has some wrong parts.

Your under dash mounting bracket doesn't look to be correct. This is off my 71 Challenger.

The problem is I dont have any point of reference I didnt take the car apart im not sure what parts were original to the car all the column parts look like others I have seen All the snap rings fit where they belonged all the column pieces fit together nice the key release mechanism looks good and works good nothing binds shaft spins nice Its just short the same distance as between the bracket bolt centers apx 2 inches any reason I cant have the shaft lengthened ???
