Start by finding the center-point of the steering gear. The wheels better be straight-ahead. If they're not, it's likely the tie-rods were misadjusted.
Bolt up the steering column at the rag joint from there, with the steering wheel centered. That "should" fix the off-center steering wheel. The last thing to look at is to verify that the steering wheel is aligned correctly on the steering column shaft--there should be a faint chisel-mark on both the shaft and the steering wheel hub.
