Sorry Dig for not being clear.
Yes! 1:1 is what I'm after. But I want it while the tires are spinning!! I have no play at the curb with the engine off. Does that mean the gears are NOT worn?? Once I start and pull away, I get the play. So it is either the box adjustment or the gearing is worn. I've just yet to get the tools and try to get at the outer nut/inside hex bolt try adjusting it. But for my, my PS pumps started to whine at idle while turning in the parking lots. Since I changed the filter and it didn't help, it may be time to exchange the pump itself...

Since the movement between the wheels and the pitman arm was proper, I concluded that the looseness had to be between the pitman arm and the steering wheel. Changing the coupling and adjusting the box took away the free play.
