Default 73 steers more left than right

I have replaced all steering components and have had an alignment done. My p/s box had a small leak so i decided to pull it apart and put new seals in it. When i put it back together i noticed the only way i could physically install the pitman arm causes the car to steer more left than right. I never noticed if it did this before or not can someone with a 71-73 p/s chime in and check out there steering for me

Assuming you indeed installed the pitman arm correctly...Measure to see if the the tie rod ends are centered. If they show unequal threads exposed I would take it back to the shop that did the work and tell them to fix it for free.

Try to understand what im saying. Its not an alignment question. Simply asking for someone with a 71-73 with power steering to go out to there car and turn the wheel all the way left n measure distance from outside of tire to inner frame and do the same with wheel all the way to the right and see if the measurement is the same or changes. I need to know if these cars are setup with more left turn or not thats it no qlignment questions but FYI tie rod ends are centered
