Steering column

How do I put the throtel and idle rods in the steering column in a 1930 A Ford? Can't hit the hole at the bottom .

This is the procedure I have in my notes - Apologies to the original poster as I did not get their name.

Removing tube from shaft makes it a lot easier:

1. Insert rods through upper bushing and attach anti-rattlers about 14 inches down from top.
2. Drop the entire assembly into the top of the tube with the "V" aligned but do not drive the upper bushing home just yet.
3. In a darkened area with a light on below for better viewing, maneuver one rod into its hole just enough that it is started in on the way. Next, maneuver the other rod into its hole the same way. In this effort, you will be sighting down through the steering shaft hole in the upper bushing.
4. With both rods started into their lower holes, next start the upper bushing into its final resting place and tap it home. Tap down the rods carefully to make sure they are fully down, then begin the process of mounting the springs and spark and accelerator control arms.
