Is their any adjustment for the 2 tooth steering box. Wheel is tight to shaft, But I have about 3" play before pitman arm moves.

Yep, 4 of them which have to be performed in order. Its best to get a set of the service bulletins or Les Andrews book.

Don't touch the slotted rivet adjustment.

I just adjusted my 2 tooth box per the Andrews book and it works great. I now have the best steering A I've ever had. Don't worry if you haven't ever done it before. Just follow the procedure and go for it. Jay

Why?

I've never had a problem with the slotted rivet adjuster. If memory serves me right it is for equalizing the lash either side of the center of steering.
