With the front end on jack stands, I have about 4" of play in the steering wheel. Is this acceptable? Also How full should the steering box be? Everything seems tight, I feel no play in the king pins. I'm new to the Model A but I'm learning. Thanks in advance for all help. Harv

Bought a new in car fuel shutoff valve but it only seems to thread into the tank 1&1/2 full turns. Does this sound correct? and also should yellow Teflon tape or pipe dope be used? Thanks in advance for all help. Harv.
