Were they keyed in '68? I don't know, but now you mention it, it should be, I would think. If the Pittman arm is off a tooth, the tie rods should be adjusted to keep the steering wheel centered instead of pulling and turning the steering wheel, since that is (hopefully) where the high part of the sector gear is/was.
