On the T/A box, the "Fast Ratio" factory pitman arm has a keyway ... so.. it'll only fit on the box correctly with the splines. However, I've heard the aftermarket fast-ratio pitman arms do not have that keyway which requires you to determine the correct location... they should eventually fix that matter once and for all.
The hitting of the tires against the frame rail (typically at the rear of the tire) is common for lots of Mopars... not that bad of an issue.... pending the rims and tire sizes that are being used.
You should also be installing a longer C-Body Idler arm... (~1970 Fury, etc)... so to correct the turning radius each side (the factory never did it correctly... an oversight that allowed one side to turn more than the other side when using the T/A box with its longer "fast ratio" pitman arm. (NOTE: ALL aftermarket "fast ratio" IDLER ARMS, as advertised by the sellers, etc, are simply ~1970 C-Body idler arms... always has been, always will be... never "created" or designed by anyone.)

Just a thought . When i had my b body ps box redone here in Aust they replaced the input shaft with an Aust a body input . Its master spline was nearly 90 degrees out . I simply removed the master spline in the steering wheel hub to recentre it . No problems . I have my own workshop and do my own alignments . Pitman and idler should be straight ahead , set / adjust everything from there .
