I have an 88 Sunbird with OMC Cobra 4.3 and I can push the outdrive from port to starboard is that normal or should I be only to move it that much with the steering?

Normal. Watch your steering wheel as you do it, it'll look like a ghost is driving. At least that's what my 5 year old says :)

If the steering wheel is locked, you should only get a small amount of play.
Hold the wheel and then try pushing.It should only get an inch or two if that.
