Power steering Mod.

I did a power steering conversion on my 1969 Blazer. Everting bolted up nicely and fit like a glove. However to to get my rag joint to fit and to get my pttman arm bolted so everything lined up my steering wheel is not centered it is 90 degrees out with everything else straight. Can I just reclock my steering wheel?

If the alignment is good, you can just reclock the steering wheel.

My 72 has an adjustable link between the pitman arm and the knuckle. I turn the wheels to the farthest point in both directions and make sure this is equal. and then clock the wheel and then fine tune with the link.

I reclock the steering wheel once and drove the truck. It was still off to the left a little and I reclocked it again but I haven't driven it yet. I dont have a adjustable link to dial it in.
