I doubt you paid much attention to column alignment at disassembly. Especially depending on disassembly order- If you started with the Pittman arm, unbolted the box, then went inside, no mis-alignment would ever be seen. I KNOW my OE column was not exactly centered at re-assembly.
Anybody with an OE box and column want to remove the two bolts at the dash clamp and see if their tube stays centered? Anybody got a parts truck partially disassembled to check for comparison?
Face facts, they are not perfect. Shim the box with washers and move on. Don't let "perfect" get in the way of "good".
