Manual Steering Box Issue

hey guys i need some help regarding a manual steering box that i just put in my 86 camaro. i read many stories about people buying manual steering boxes from 1988 or newer chevy s10's. from what i understand, as long as the box has a 4 bolt cover it should bolt in just fine. i bought a re-manufactured manual box and bolted it into my car, it bolted in fine using the stock camaro steering linkage. but when i went to turn the steering wheel, the wheels turned in the opposite direction of the steering wheel. i am wondering if this is a common problem, or if my steering box is just messed up internally.

Take it back and get a different one. Something isn't right.
