Re: [Chrysler300] Steering wheel centering

I'm nearly certain the pitman arm on my '65 is indexed with a single large spline as well as the steering shaft to box and the steering wheel as Larry confirmed. Unless one or more of the replacement parts are incorrect, what else could it be? 90 degrees isn't really much when you consider he ratio of the steering boxes in these cars.
