How do you adjust the steering box? The pitman arm moves too far to the right and hardly to the left. I reversed the box so that I can use it in my T Bucket.

sounds like its still in the car, if so then the pitman arm needs to moved (rotated. what I would do it remove pitman arm, the turn steering wheel from lock to lock & count the ### of rotations, then divide by 2, that way you know where center is on the steering box. center the box & the put pitman arm back on....BUT IF this isnt the problem I would say your box is junk then cause its in a bind, because the adjustment you're talking about will only take the play out of the steering box...joe

What he said. The pittman arm needs to be recentered as TooMany describes. The problem is the pittman arm has a missing tooth in the spline that matches the sector shaft so it will only go on one way. Great if you are using it to cross steer a stock 'vair but must be modified for the reversed box hung on a hot rod frame rail. I use a triangle machinist's file to cut the missing tooth in the spline in the hole of the pittman arm so it will slide onto the sector shaft at any angle.
