Bill Excellent point, thank you for bringing it up. The angle is theoretically not adjustable. The drag link is not adjustable at all being a fixed length. The pittman arm on the steering box is supposed to be indexed from the factory and the mark is perpendicular to the pins or studs. So....if the bell crank isn't more or less perpendicular...we might assume that something is incorrect The only way to adjust the angle is by ignoring the index marks on the pittman and sector shaft and changing them. I think you could do it a few flutes one way or the other and not mess things up, but it would be a small amount of adjustment.I am pretty sure I have looked at this and with the steering box centered (and the pittman per factory index), the bell crank isn't quite perpendicular but it is close. I can only guess, ASSUMING the engineers did this intentionally (as opposed to something off after 80 years), that it has something to do with the different length tie rods?Engineering is cool!
