68 Barracuda Manual Steering Box

Mine was like that too, like a dead spot in the center? Have someone yaw the steering wheel back and forth while you look at the gear box. The sector shaft on mine (20:1 PST) would move side to side considerably before it started to rotate. PST sent me a new box no questions asked, but I haven't been able to get time to swap it out to see if the problem went away yet.
