turn it to tires stop and then turn the opposite way and count the revolusions to stop. trun the opposite way and count half way. level the steering wheel and attach the shaft to the box.

Not to steel your post, but how do you know how to "clock" the pitman arm on a box?

There are usually 4 missing splines on the steering box output shaft, 90 deg. apart.  The pitman should have at least 1 doublewidth spline, to align with the missing spline on the shaft.
