My `83 had about that much also.

Ended up replacing the steering box as the wear was just too great.

Also changed out the front end components. The tie rod ends were shot, the lower control arms were gone and the 2 bushings in the steering idler arm were worn out.

It is what it is.

I love old rotaries but bringing them back to factory specs can some times be a monetary pain.
