Hi Jeff,
Below the steering cowl is the thick U bracket (this assembly is probably 3-6 
inches from the firewall) with two 7/16 inch bolts holding a rectangular 
plate with a 1/2 inch nut in the center.  Remove the two 7/16 bolts.  The 
steering wheel should spin in circles and move up and down.  If it doesn't 
it's probably rusted in place and you'll need liquid wrench or wd40.  There 
is about 4 inches of adjustment up and down.  When the wheel is properly 
adjusted, replace the rectangular plate and 7/16 bolts making sure the plate 
sits on the flat of the upper column.  You may need to readjust the cowl and 
the clip which turns the indicator light switch as well.
