Bummer, didn't think that would work. So I guess the culprit is likely to be the diagonal is too far over into the engine bay?? Did a bit of digging and thinking and I wonder if my problem is my column is out of a later sierra with power steering which has a different shape at the end and the spline to fit onto the rack is different because of this. Apparently earlier sierra columns without power steering have a spline which fits straight onto an escort rack. I had to get one of these
