My 71 bigblock has been apart for yrs, I’m putting her back together , I seem to have trouble filling the power steering pump , it seems like it’s air locked or something, I can fill the top tank ,it doesn’t seem to be going into the pump on the motor, it’s running and I’ve got it jacked up ,turning the wheels slowly, jus seems to be takin for ever to fill , how to I get the air outta the system?
