Waking up a Sleeping Beauty, 1934 5 window

[The Art Doctor]

OK, last nights drive report. The wandering is better, but you better keep both hands on the wheel. With the car driving straight the wheel is cocked to the right about 4 inches. The area of play in the middle of the steering box between turning left and turning right where one would expect to be going straight is off. When going straight I am in the left turn part of the box and the box is fighting to go back to the middle and pulls the car to the right. Its exhausting driving it and fighting the box to keep the car going straight. My shoulders and arms are worn out from another 30 minute drive. I am going to explore the Pittman arm alignment thought train unless any other ideas come my way. That should get the wheel at least centered but I am not sure how that will affect where the middle of the box travel will end up in relation to the front wheels going forward. I'm scratching the old noggin over this.


I did fill her up all the way. First gas stop in a very long time. Gas gauge reads off the chart when full. I guess the upper stop is well beyond the visible scale. I did reset the trip odometer for the first time too. I did not realize that you literally have to roll it through every number to get it back to 000, it does go in both directions.
