Power steering noise

On a side note, how does it drive with the T-Bird rack? I had one in my car when I built it, but took it out straight away because it was too quick and made the car want to dart all over the road with the slightest movement of the steering wheel. Pretty sure it has something to do with the geometry of a Mustang II front end. I replaced it with a fox body rack that is a full turn slower and it drives a lot better.

No noise when you rev it, full of fluid and no foaming. It drives great with the t-bird rack. I know there are a few different t-bird racks, I think one is 3 turns and the other is 2.5. Can't remember the exact numbers. I also have reduced the pressure with the Borgeson shim kit. The rack is about 2 months old from NAPA.

What year Mustang is your rack or do you have a part#? If I need to replace this one I may try what you have.
