I get about 2-1/2 turns one way and 2-3/4 the other.

That says it all.

You need to turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel's travel is the same, turning left and right. Then turn the ignition key into the off/lock position with the wheel in that spot. I would bet that the steering wheel will be in the correct position then, even thought the tires will be pointing slightly left or right. At that point the tie rod ends need to be loosened and turned in whatever direction it takes to return the front wheels to their straight ahead position. You will then need to get the toe set correctly by a competent shop, or do what I did when I swapped out a column in my T/A and found out that the tilt columns were clocked differently than the non-tilt columns:
