I can't help but add to Jim's e-mail... the BEST result I have obtained as
far as "tight" box and good feel is by having my steering box ( 1961 300G )
rebuilt by Steer and Gear, to firm feel spec. Of course, when reinstalling,
a new bushing between the sahft and box... and new copper strip for horn
