sterring wheel centering

Oh man, just finally dealt with this issue 2 days ago. My car has all stock steering components and steering wheel. It had the typical steering wheel off center after a front alignment. Mine was off 180 degrees. Right hand turn signal would not cancel. Lock to lock had approx 1 full turn difference from the wheels centered position.

We removed the whole steering column. We disconnected the coupler at the steering box that we had centered, then made sure the the steering wheel was centered and pushed everything back into place.

Gotta love 50 plus year old cars, somebody before us had done things wrong. Murphy's law applied here too because the coupler came apart during removal.:wtf: So that had to be rebuilt first before putting it back together.. Not a fun job but doable. I think it will be :popcorn: time for this thread.
