Arm is moving not the whole box, my family has a few there mopars with original boxes and I am aware they feel more over assisted compared to new ones, but the wheel has a lot of play in it. I will have to check into it more and possibly try Dave's method, I can't have the car down for an...

Was just checking if there was, I would of rather kept the stock box if possible

I will eventually get the box rebuilt, I just can't have the car down for long to get it rebuilt right now. I am trying to get it better for the time being.

Is there a way to rebuild the stock box/replace the potting material?

Would the ballast be so hot to the touch that you could only place a finger on it for a second? The goo on the box I would assume only started oozing out within the last week.

P/arm not loose on splines and I am aware of if you adjustment too much can cause wheel not to come back to center. Where is the adjustment on the steering column and the steering arm? I know about the one on top of the box with the nut and allen bolt. I have the manual somewhere will have to...

Started the car like 2 hrs ago after not starting for about 3 days, car started it park after cranking for a few seconds giving it 2 pumps and just cranking again. Noticed Ignition box on fender is leaking some goo and ballast resistor very hot to touch (not sure if that is right).

Only cranks in park or neutral not in any gear, cranks and starts in neutral

I know after a few days the carb could evaporate the fuel, but like you said it would not explain starting in neutral.

Correct me if I'm wrong, usually if a nss goes or is on its way out it will not attempt to start/crank

Have fuel in the carb, has a steady stream of gas from the accelerator pump, have checked that already. As for if it doesn't start in park I usually crank to get the fuel pump moving some gas, then pump it a few times and if it does not start I then try and put it in neutral to see if it will...

How's it going guys, not sure if I am posting this in the right spot please move if not. A few months back to maybe a year ago my car has been having problems starting. I replaced the choke pull off as it was not working. Now the car will crank in park and will not start most of the time if it...

I will have to check the arm but I do no believe it is loose on the splines.

Bought the car off the original owner a neighbor of mine who never used the car. He bought the car in 73, it was his one and only car. I know the shop that worked on it and both the shop and the owner of the car said it has never been rolled around and the car has 15,000 miles (11,000 when I...

Never around once, is it normal for the shaft to move up and down when turning the steering wheel when it is out of adjustment
