K-frame alignment?

There used to be a tight, close tolerance hole and a tight tolerance slot so the K frame would self align. If some one opened up that tight hole, all bets are off. At this point, leave the 4 bolts loose, get your suspension lined up, and tighten the K frame bolts. I'm afraid that is the best you can hope for now.

I didn't notice anything that looked changed around the recessed bolt holes, if that's what you mean.

I've got the column installed and don't plan to take that apart before moving things, and maybe if I just loosen everything up and work it until the the torsion bars go in and out then leave them in to kind of hold it in place, and don't forget to make sure the steering and all else still clears before tightening any bolts.

FWIW, I'm mostly posting this to put it on the record that k-frames aren't automatic every time, and I think the right stand to build up from would have made a world of difference so be aware if you try to cheap out like I did.

I also got ahead of myself several times and had to back track - you have been warned :)
