I have a fair amount of slop in my steering as well. I tried adjusting the worm gear on the steering box, but over-tightened it. This led to it binding at center and being loose when turning it to the left or right. Loosened that adjustment back the way it was. Ended up rebuilding my rag joint and that seemed to help a little. It occurred to me this morning that I'm comparing this gearbox steering to my rack and pinion steering car, so maybe I just need to get used to it? Not sure how much slop is "normal" with a gearbox setup.
