Steering wheel clocked way off after new box install

not to jack the thread or anything but i had something similar happen. i replaced the power box with a manual box and also the pitman arm idler arm and new tie rods and tie rod ends. i took the old tie rods out and made the new ones approx the same size put the new box in and id only get like 3 turns to the left from center and 2 turns to the right, i took everything apart and checked again put it all back together and same deal so the only way i could get equal turns both ways was to make one tie rod really short and the other very long i dont care much how the steering wheel looks but i am worried about having two tie rods so different in length. does anyone know what to do? the box by the way is supposedly from a feather duster and is alluminum and i have a 72 duster
