I used the S-10 manual box (from swap meet, not sure of actual year of box) on my '73 TA. I reused the '73 Pittman arm. The manual box, once mounted wass lined up so the centerline of the turning radius was centered. The pittman is splined to register the shaft and it caused the center point to be off about 180 degrees from center on the steering wheel. The rag joint was different also. I bought a rag joint off one of those universal parts boards (door lock pulls, clips, bolts etc) and it worked fine. To line up the steering wheel so it was centered and the blinker cancel was centered I dismantled the wheel and removed the ingition lock plate, drilled and cut out the centering pin location on the plate (again about 180 degrees from the original cut out), turned everything back to center and bolted it back up. Works fine. Mark L
