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

Find the center of travel for your steering box, as I described in one of my posts above.

Then line everything up to center from there.

You may not be able to keep the equal number of threads showing on your tie rods for each side. You need your alignment to be straight and centered with the center of travel of the steering wheel/gearbox.
