Steering and tire pressure

I will double check that Mitch but i did look at that when putting everything together springs are excellent checked them and there is no sag.
 
A reminder that tires can heat up after driving, sometimes 3-5 psi, so as stated, probably stay with the 35 #.
 
I think power steering and power brakes has spoiled most of us to the original driving experience of Model A's.
In 1965, when I bought my 1962 Corvair Spyder, that sure spoiled me for getting back into my 1955 Chevy. It was like going from a light sports car to steering a tug boat.

If the stock rebuilt steering still isn't as easy as you'd like, then I'd install the shorter pitman arm.

Tom i think he mentioned that the shortened pitman arm was installed
 
I run my tires at 42 lbs. They wear in a more even pattern with a bit more air, methinks. However, 7 lbs isn't going to make much difference on steering. I would say run it for a summer and see if some wear-in helps.
 
Since i have never had a model A and I have rebuilt and tightened up everything it may just be me I thought i might have gotten the tie rod ends a little tight but i snugged them only enough to get a cotter pin in.
