This means that the parking is working just fine, but that one of 
your arms is positioned wrong on the shaft. 

There were two kinds of attachments to the shafts used in 68-9, 
maybe 70, too. The original ones used a set screw, but this was 
replaced by a much better system that clamped around the shaft. 
You will have to look at yours and see how they attach and then 
loosen it and reposition.

If yours has the set screw, you might want to look for a pair of the 
replacement version arms. I believe the L & R arms are different. 
These are not the same as the arms introduced later (71?) which 
have a conical seating area.
