You will have to be more precise with your description. What exactly,step by step, did you do?

do you do the nut up that holds the steering column to the steering box properly?

i had a 180b that had no splines left on the input of the steering box so it had a good half a turn before the bolt holding the column to it jammed and started the car turning
was kinda scary to drive

Looks like you don't have a workshop manual. These are very helpfull when working on things that you are not familiar with. Highly recomended.

arrr its very hard to explane but i would say you need to undo the nut under the steering box and then you can locate it ( the weird sharft ) sorry dont know wat its called but if you undo the nut under the box and pulll it apart you see how it works :) i was it you sercamstance not long ago i should get a 1200 manaul

if you pull (then jiggle) the steering column apart without removing the pitman arm, then you need to pull it all apart and read the factory service manual.

You can't easily disassemble and reassemble it, because it doesn't matter how careful you are during reassembly, the bottom bearing gets pushed out of position, and basically is now rattling inside the steering box.

I know I'm right. Been there...done that.
