Moving on to my next project, I have a small amount of play in my steering wheel. When the wheel does engage, the steering is fine its just about a half inch of play either way in what appears to be the steering linkage itself. Any ideas?

I believe the max allowable is 1" at the wheel. Sounds like you're there. Not knowing the condition of any of your steering components, my first best guess would be the steering coupler where the column meets the gear box.

That's your best guess? Ok, good one.
However, I too have the 1" of play and my coupler is mint and my front end is true.
My best guess for me would be a tired steering box. Not tired enough to change, however.

I had the same issue and had my indy MB mech. look at it...he tried adjusting it, but because of age he couldn't tighten it any more, it was too worn...so he changed the box (a refurb) and the coupler...now it responds super nicely...gotta love my money pit I tell you!
