Hi.
I believe that year car was still using the bishops steering box like that of a 60's Morgan.
If so the tight or "high spot" in the steering center on is normal. Yes you disconnect the drag link to find steering center on and you can make your adjustment to the box to adjust play out. You also want to make sure their is oil in the box and fill to top. I use a small clean flat head screwdriver to use as a dip stick to determine level is correct.
You have to get the right feel for the adjustment so it is not too tight. I think your car may like a 60's and earlier Morgan will have a felt bushing at top of column and this should be in good conditioned and oiled. Make sure their is no binding in the column.
Have you performed a complete service on the car? There are many lubrication points and tricks as well as procedures for tightening the floor boards, transmission tunnels, fuel tank and body bolts.
It is also imperative to evaluate the condition of both the front end and rear suspension springs as worn out springs can lead to rear chassis pounding and kickup.
Working for Larry Eckler at Morgan Motors of New England for me is the ultimate Morgan learning experience.
Let me know if we can help.
Regards
Peter
