 pull the steering wheel off and move it one or two notches in the

 If you do this you will mess the turn signal cancellation way off since 
 the shaft has a cancel 'pad' that is supposed to be in the center with 
 the with the wheels straight ahead.

Self-cancelling turn signals are from the devil

Real drivers don't need such stuff.

Ya, I once a long time ago had a 66 chev and one day as I was turning  
left across 4 lanes of highway traffic  the
self-cancelling turn signal mech broke and locked the steering wheel.  
Fortunately that era of vehicles came with
large diameter steering wheels so I just hauled on it and listened to  
snapping as parts of pot metal  Bakelite fell out

of the bottom of the steering wheel assembly onto my lap.
