Joe, 
I had a similar experience and it turned out one of the balls in the steering box had worn and finally cracked.  If you pull the steering box and open it up you will know if you need to rebuild or replace it.

My 66 has developed a subtle "hitch" in its steering that is evident at
low speeds and seems to occur somewhere around the straight-ahead
position. <BIG SNIP>
     My suspicions center on either the box or the coupling.
     Any suggestions as to what I should address first? Thanks.
