power steering conversion
 

I just installed power steering on my 70 C10, I bought everything from a very reliable bone yard in my area. He gave me a steering box from an early 80s p/u (85 I think) the pump was out of a 72 nova with a 250 ci, mine is also a 250. everything bolted in just fine all I had to modify where the hoses. I have no leaks the pump seems to be working it took all of a quart or more of fluid but I still don't have power steering. I took the pressure off the wheels and turned it from side to side several times and took it for a ride but no luck. Is the box wrong, the bone yards book said there all the same up to the 80s. Is there not enough pressure or volume, any suggestions.

Bump for ya I am also interested in finding this out as I will be running a similar setup!

I would think the pump is bad... I would just spring for a new/rebuilt pump and save time and issues. If anything just buy a rebuild kit, if you are ambitious type.

Box is the same, no question...

Is the pressure line attached to the outer port on the box?

It's all straightened out, it was the box. Ended up putting the proper year one on it, thanks for all the replies.
