Corvair steering?
I'm using a reversed Corvair steering box on my roadster. The steering shaft turns 5.5 times lock to lock. I backed it off 2.75 turns from all the way to the right and put the pitman arm on. When I set the box on top of the frame the pitman arm is swept back on about a 60 degree angle. When I mounted my drag link to the steering hoop on the LF spindle it steers so far to the left that the drag link rubs the LF backing plate. I'm guessing that's from the pitman arm angle and not having it pointing straight down. Is this normal or do I have to heat up the arm and bend it perpendicular to the frame rail? Thanks for the help.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
