Thanks to everyone for the advice...I guess I had to hear the same thing I was thinking out loud from Pro's....it was the pitman out of sync...I did the tape trick both ways and centered...re assembled and it works perfectly...my project is a 71' conv. I put a 2015 LT1 out of a vette and a 8l90E..I'm about 70% finished at this point lots more stupid questions to come..haha

Oh, I see your doing a quick and easy low budget build. Post up the pictures, of course some might not like the LT1, but its your build Sounds like it going to be a nice cruiser.

I'm going to have to tackle this soon because it won't be long before I put the steering wheel on and do the first lock to lock testing since complete disassembly. On my 68, when I reinstalled the factory pitman back on the factory box seems like I remember asymmetric splines ... it would only go on one way. Faulty memory?

I never took the pitman off the box...I had it rebuilt about a year before tear down and installed it without thinking...I did not realize my mistake until I got the new steering wheel and column..it was a simple fix and a few people's opinion on here helped a lot..
