CM Steering box 1978 vette

Question to the experts, I recently installed a brand new GM gear box from Ecklers, however once I was done with the installation I found my steering wheel to be off 90 degrees and I have more turning radius to the left than right. Help Help

HI there,
It sounds like the pitman arm is not aligned correctly,
Simply remove the pitman arm and rotate it 90 degree towards the side that needs more travel.
Allthebest, c4c5
