Lol, well that’s good to know! Just one more reason to go with the power steering conversion sooner rather than laterYou adjusted nothing. The 1972 and older steering boxes need to be disassembled in order to be adjusted.
The inside of the box is filled with steel shims that fill in the space between the sector shaft and the housing, completely. The ‘adjuster’ is ONLY used to reset the preload AFTER shims are removed to improve contact between the worm gear and the sector.
A primitive design compared to modern standards, which is not aided by the fact there are no more parts to rebuild them.
