Right on. Seems like there are different ways to prime it, just get her done. This was the recommendation by the guy who rebuilt my box and pump. I did this and more as mentioned above.
“DO NOT turn the steering wheel until the system is completely full. Use Dextron III ATF. DO NOT use clear fluids or synthetics in older systems. Tires should be on the ground. Fill the reservoir, then start the engine for a second and shut it off. Check and refill the reservoir. When the reservoir is completely full turn the engine on, and turn the steering wheel SLOWLY. If you hear the pump groan or moan then turn the engine off and check the fluid again. Start the engine and slowly move the steering wheel back and forth to expel air.”
Note Dextron III ATF is no longer available.
