Power Steering Question

Just finished my p.s. conversion on my '66 C10. It was the first time for starting an rebuilt motor today also. That went really smoothe.

The pump makes a little more noise than I would like. It could be in a slight bind, as it is not perfectly lined up. Is this normal?

Re: Power Steering Question

I think I may have found the answer whil searching the archives in another board. They said to block up both front wheels and with the engine running SLOWLY turn the wheel lock to lock 10-15 times.

Oh, and by the way, I got my digital camera back, but now know why daughter was slow to return. $700 camera is broken!
