This is a "typical earlier Saginaw column" BUT from a Fiero with different key release but all else should do well. Page 26, 43 and 44 are documented pretty well with snapshots showing dimmer actuator orientation. There's scattered others that are very valuable. I've posted this a couple other times and I posted a Corvette one many years ago also that was not as well documented but worked well.

In your FSM see 3F5-8 fig 16 for proper orientation of the dimmer actuator, it's a very minor difference in the end cap fabrication early to later. Make sure the dimmer rod is inserted and dimmer responds appropriately.
