Would anyone have the center to center measurement for the two bolt holes in the frame for mounting the steering gear assembly?
My holes are worn out of round and I want to weld them shut to re-drill them.
 
it matches the center to center of the steering gear.
they were oval some from the factory to allow for slightly different angles for different body styles
 
I was wondering if the was some intentional oval made into the holes in the frame. Knowing that helps. There is a bit of wear in the holes of the steering gear sector housing so using them for a precise measurement isn't viable. I figured that there was enough room there to allow the steering column to move in order to adjust to the steering column support bracket. Probably one of the most important things here is to make sure it is bolted up tight to the frame once set in place to prevent it from moving around.
 
Used a passenger side set of holes, transferred to a piece of cardboard with spray paint to weld up and redrill on drivers side. This was a California car. The holes were round.
