I got it to go aft about 20 degrees which was enough for the u joint to turn without binding. I just tightened everything up and went for a test drive. It’s like a new car. Turns really nice. It was worth the time and frustration
to get that new linkage to work. I almost bailed on it. I glad I hung in there and thankful for all your guys guidance. I’ll post some pics when I get a chance. Maybe this could help someone else. Thanks again
