It turns out it was actually an '88 not an '82. I had some success
getting a wiring diagram:

I looked for the pink wire. It appears the pink wire and some other go
to a switch that's located on top of the column and down the column
from the steering wheel. A linkage on the left of the column engages
it, and pulling the linkage is the same a turning the key clockwise.
The linkage was broke. I pulled what was exposed with pliers, and the
car started.

Now, and I probably need to start another thread for visibility, but
what's special about steering wheel nuts? I don't think it's a
standard thread. And does anybody know exactly what kind of nut goes
on this car?

Yes, I know I can call a dealer. Tomorrow is Sunday, though.
