If you are installing a new Quick Connect cable to an earlier helm, you need a special Teleflex fitting adaptor which converts the screw on fitting to a quick connect fitting. I had to do this when I installed a new cable in my 1979 Montauk.
As for steering torque (pull), always trim the engine to the point where the pull is the same in each direction, eliminating the pull. This will also be your most efficient trim position for optimizing fuel economy and speed.
