The Ford Barn

I’ve got a 32 roadster and it has a 40 Ford Standard steering wheel fitted. The spoke in the wheel is about 25 to 1 position when going straight ahead. The drag link is the stock Ford non adjustable type.

Does the 32 and the 40 have different positioned key ways or am I being really stupid and missing something here?

The pitman arm , as far as I know is the 32, and I’m not sure but I think you can’t get them in the wrong positionaA due to wider clocking splines... correct??

Just a further thought, the car has a dropped axle and the steering arm has been heated and bent to match..... could this cause the problem??
