Thank you for the replies. The car has an original pitman arm and is currently on axle stands. I plan to adjust the brakes tomorrow then take it out for a test drive. I'll check to see if the number of steering wheel revolutions to full lock changes when it's on the ground. I checked another '29. It also had 2 revolutions to full lock when raised off the floor. Maybe that's what it should be. I was basing the 3 revolution count on other posts in this forum and Les Andrews' book (volume 1, page 1-310) where he says the mid point should be at approximately 1 1/2 revolutions.
