steering column

I'm installing the steering column on my 73 dart, and was wondering how far in or out to install the column at the three points under the dash.

You want the steering shaft to ride in the center of the travel available in the box coupling.
Beyond that it lands where it lands without adding stress in any direction. There was never a whole lot of control in the distances from point to point while building the car. That's why its slotted at various mounts.

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Thank you for the response. I was afraid I had worded it so it was hard to understand.
