I recently installed a new Borgeson power steering box in my 71 challenger. I haven't had a chance to drive much yet since i live in the northeast. I noticed after the install that the car wants to pull to the left pretty hard. I did some research and saw that factory steering boxes have a adjustability in the steering valve to find a neutral spot in the power assist. Does anyone know if the Borgeson box has the same adjustability? My car is in storage so i can't look at it. Trying to get me spring plan together to get it back on the road.

you bring up a good point. what if... when installing a steering box, the position of the steering system within the box is not at center? we put the pitman arm and the steering input shaft the onto the nearest spline and call it good.
I seem to recall there is a marking on the housing that tells us when the input shaft is aligned to center.
That said, I would not think if the steering box were off-center, it would provide forces bringing it back to some "center" point. I think it's usually the front-end alignment that introduced forces to pull left, right, and even back to center when completing a turn.
