Just swapped out a power steering box for a manual unit. I purchased the needed adapter,as well. With the box mounted,shouldn't BOTH shafts be in alignment? Mine is off,as seen in this picture! Thanks!

Randy,
I think if you loosen up the steering column at the firewall there should be enough play in it to line it up.
Give it a try, let me know if that works.

Yeah you can move the toe plate some but the coupler
takes up some also... move the toe plate first
