Close to no play go with the borgeson swap.  No more leaking cylinder or hoses.  Unless you need stay original.

I agree. The Borgeson box was one of the many things on my car I did. 

By the time you replace the OEM steering box. rag joint, hydraulic lines, steer cylinder and control valve plus shipping you've pretty much come close to spending the same amount of money.

If I didn't have a rare car, this is the route I would go.  Quicker steering ratio too.
