The hour-glass steering box is designed to mesh with minimal clearance in the straight ahead position and have increasing play as you move to either extreme, to allow for wear to take place. The idea is that wear will occur mainly near the straight ahead position, but the play this causes can be adjusted out without the steering getting tight as you turn towards full lock. The important thing is to adjust to minimal play at the straight ahead position. The earlier boxes should be adjusted at full lock; If you adjust at staight ahead they go tight on lock.
