AS far as the steering goes if you have the factory equipment it was never that good when new at a low idle, you have have to have the engine revs up and if you are standing still it will still be somewhat stiff,as this has time on it won't get any better. to do better you have to go to a char-lyn with its own pump. As for starting M's are good starting if the battery will turn it over, probaby a choke problem. The dist problem maybe points , check timing see if it is ok. The real way to help the M's slow turning over is with a twelve volt system. then they pop off good. I have a 450 gas that had a sixs volt system. I put a 12 volt diesel starter off a 400 diesel with different bendix , a GM alt and a resister for the dist and no more problems turning over. Or you can find the highest amp 6v battery that will fit in the battery box. Your engine being in good shape will take a lot power to crank.
