I just want to check that the proper way to adjust the sector shaft is to tighten it until snug, then back off 1/4 turn. I just adjusted mine 1/4 turn tighter than factory then went for a drive and felt no difference, then another 1/4 turn and went for another drive. I'm starting to feel some seat-of-the-pants difference but still have some dead zone. I don't want to over-tighten and have things bind up in the box. Stockish '87 with 300k, all steering components in excellent shape just had 1.25" or so deadzone in the steering. after the 1/2 turn of the sector shaft it feels closer to 3/4".
