My car is a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice. I heard that the s10 manual steering box will bolt up, so i installed it. It works good, except that when I am driving straight, the steering wheel is not straight. it is off about 1/3 to the left. All the points of disconnection (steering wheel to column, shaft to box, box to pitman arm) mount ONLY ONE WAY. I cannot just mount it a tooth off. The exception is I think I could dremel out one off the teeth where the pitman arm mounts, but I rather not. Is there a way to disassemble the steering box, and adjust something? There is no info that I can find online about manual steering boxes.

The correct steering wheel adjustment in your case is done by lengthening the tie rod ends on the right and shortening the total tie rod rod length on the left. *You have all steering arms in front of the front cross member. The opposite adjustments are made if all steering arms are behind the cross-member. The toe in or out will need to me set on an alignment machine.
Good Luck.
