Hi all. I just got done installing a CPP Power Steering kit in my '59 and have some concerns. With the truck standing still, the power steering is real nice and easy at rpm's higher than 1K, but at idle ( 550 rpm ), it feels like my old stock steering needing me to be Popeye again. Is it a bad power steering pump?
