And reading your comments, you may have other issues like pump steer, or some worn, loose parts.

I suggest you have an experienced front-end mechanic check the car.

Good morning to all,
A Flaming River steering box will cure the steering box issue. I would like to see the car put on a Four wheel alignment machine and have the front And rear suspension checked over. Also see if a track photographer can take a couple of pictures of the car with the wheels off the ground and be able to view what the front suspension is doing while its off the ground.
Bump Steer can cause some handling issues. Is that car similar to the Chevelle chassis where its considered a "rear steer " ? They have there own fixes but nothing that's impossible. A good front end mechanic will be able to " steer " you in the right direction. Ask some racers in your area even circle track racers who's good at front end alignment.
I hope this helps.

Respectfully,
