Steering wheel orientation.

[37 Coupe]

I am putting the 1931 two tooth steering box back together and wondering about the steering wheel to shaft to mounting it where it should be going straight down the road. The steering wheel is the original one with two keyways.Is adjustment made with drag link if wheel is off some or something I should be doing on box assembly? I am having a flashback to an incident 45 years ago when I had a Ford Torino front end aligned.When I went to drive it home the steering wheel hub or center was straight up and down going straight down the road.Old alignment guy last day on job told me to either pull wheel or get use to it.
