    Need a steering geometry genius to figure this out

    For a replacement rack for the '33 hot rod, there's a lot that needs to be known to be able to order a better replacement

    Start with this: define an imaginary line from your upper a-arm pivot to your lower a-arm pivot on both sides of the vehicle. This represents the location of your inner tie rod pivot joints while steering straight ahead. Then of course you will need to select your steering ratio unless no options exist. Also, you obviously need the steering shaft to line up with the steering input shaft. All that’s left is the mounting setup and overall width between outer tie rod ends.

    I’m assuming that you are using a rack and pinion setup and that the mounting points on your chassis are already there, establishing the centerline height of your unit.
