Customs GM auto Steering column shift lever problem

I converted my 47 Chevy to a 700R4 auto trans. I did have a new rebuilt 76 Chevy steering column in it that I added a Lokar conversion for the additional gear. I am having a problem locating a solution or a lever that works w/o interfering with my steering wheel. I changed it to a modern one which sits too close to the wheel. I'm wondering if I change out the column horn for a longer one it will help.
