Yes, the play can be adjusted for some
causes of excess play. Use your factory shop manual for the exact
procedure, it is rather tricky and must be done right to avoid binding at dead
center. If you don’t have a shop manual, get one – you will
not be able to do a “complete restoration” without one! The
procedure may also be given in the IML archives; I know it has been discussed
before. Do not use the instructions for the power steering gearboxes as
used in the later years, those are completely different. Before trying to adjust the gear box,
inspect all the steering linkage, paying special attention to the idler arm and
the drag link end fittings, as those are common causes of excessive play.
