You need to either switch to ball joints for the 79 or just bolt the 79s upper and lower control arms on your 67.For the steering the frame needs a small dip in it where the box bolts up to keep it from hitting the frame.68 and up have this already there but 67s dont.Just mark where it hits and take a torch and heat it up and "massage"it with a hammer.You could shim it with some washers but I dont like that method as much.You can also use the booster and master but the rod needs modified.

Or you could unbolt the whole front crossmember, drill a couple of new holes, and bolt in in place of your old crossmember. I definitely agree not to shim the power steering box. You will wear out your box quickly by doing that.
