I'm putting a new factory steering box on my 70 Chevelle and need to know how to set the center. The turn on the new box is 2 1/2 - 3, so do I set center at 1 1/4 or 1 1/2, or am I completely out in left field on this one... Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.. Thanks Marc

Start with the wheel all the way to the left, count how many turns to the right, if its 3 full turns, than its 1-1/2 turns to center.
