Yes, the '32 service info works. Big thing is to figure out exactly where the center of the "lock to lock" is. Turn the wheel all the way to left full lock. Put a piece of masking tape at the top of the wheel and mark it "L." Turn all the wheel all the way to right full lock, counting turns on the way. Put another piece of tape at the top of the wheel and mark it "R." Back off exactly 1/2 of the number of turns that it took to go lock to lock and put a third piece of tape at the top of the wheel and mark it "C." This is the point where you will want to make your adjustments. The "Gemmer?" steering system is set up to be tightest at the center, when you're driving straight and then loosen up a bit as you turn. If your drag link is adjustable, you want to set it so the wheels are straight ahead when the wheel is at the center position.
