Default 7-tooth steering full lock

I rebuilt the 7-tooth steering box for our '29 Tudor; new sector, new worm with steering shaft, etc. After installing it in the car it only took 2 turns of the steering wheel to go form full lock to full lock. At full lock the backing plate (either side) hits the king pin locking bolt on the backside of the axle. With the drag link removed the steering wheel has 3 full turns lock to lock which I understand is normal for a Model A. The springs and cups in the drag link and tie-rod are good. The end plugs are screwed in so that they are flush with the ends of the tie rod and drag link. The toe-in is 1/16 of an inch. After working on this for most of the day I can't figure out why it only takes 2 turns instead of 3 to go from lock to lock. Appreciate any advice you can provide.
