I mounted the SP Box as shown so the drag link is dead bubble level. My U Joint is operating at 4 degrees below the max recommended angle. Check the max angle allowed for the U Joint you are using and stay below that so you dont get any binding. Look at your pitman arm. You will note that the splines are every 10 degrees. Also note that at 0,90,180 and 270 degrees you are missing a spline. This was done so when the vehicles came down the assembly line it was quick to get the proper pitman arm angle so the steering wheel was centered.
If you file in the missing spline at each missing location, you can then adjust your pitman arm every 10 degrees to better suit your steering wheel being in the proper position when straight ahead.
Thanks for the kind words....Merry Christmas
