'67 Dart drag car with a rack and pinion swap needs some geometry help

That is what I thought, the problem is by swapping the steering link from the rear (correct geometry) to the front make it way off. The simplest way to explain it is for you to take an imaginary line from the center of the rear end to the front ball joints. Your tie rod needs to intersect that line, be it in front of rear of the ball joint. As you have experienced, your steering must be a nightmare making turns.
