^Its four bolts.

Under the steering wheel there is a panel with, i think ,six screws then four for the steering colum,two in the gauge cluster cover and three in the cluster. two on the side and one up top.

check to see if the cluster is single cam or dual cam... single cam will read something like 115 MPH the cluster needs to match up with what ever car it is going in. if I remeber right if your running SR you HAVE to use the dual cam one. maybe thats the problem... just my 2 cents..lol
Just me

also I do believe it is 4 bolts under steering wheel. two near the front and two near the base where the thing comes into the car.

No, It's 4 for the column. The other 2 are on a bracket that bends with enough force, and it's closer to the firewall. Yeah, if you force the column down with only the front bolts off, it'll go down. But, there are 4 bolts total and all of them need to come off to lower the column completely.
