I'm guessing that with the shortened pitman arm the sector is hitting inside the box itself. Can anyone with the shortened arm confirm that the spindle is hitting the stop with the wheel at full lock?

saxman657, this is probably a stupid question but are you putting the arm on in the correct orientation, ball facing in? When I had my steering box on the bench I was trying to test fit a NOS pitman arm and couldn't get it on for the life of me. Flipped it around the correct way and it slipped right on.
