[DeTomaso] re mounting the rack and pinion

two question about connecting the steering shaft to the spindle on the rack and pinion.
1.  should the steering wheel be able to go two full revolutions to right until stopping and 2 to the left before stopping before  do the final tightening of the steering shaft to the rack spindle?
2.  Should the spindle on the rack itself be able to slide both machined portions into the steering shaft?  The steering shaft covers most of the upper spindle but none of the lower machined spindle on the rack.  I cant recall if both areas have to be forced to engage in the steering shaft?
Thanks
