Re: Hit a snag on my way to completing my build

Slight setback, what I thought was a bad p/s pump is not! After going through the whole process of pulling the pump, replacing, flush and bleed, the power steering still does not work! Turning the wheel to each left and right stop blows the fluid back out from under the cap and the fluid starts to boil just trying to work the wheel back and forth a few times (I have the burn and missing skin to prove it).

ARRRGH!

Next step is to replace the p/s gear box. It sucks because the box looks fairly new but it is the only piece left in the puzzle that could cause this. I just hope the mid-70's gear box I ordered is correct since this is a conversion that was put in by the previous owner.
