Question Re: Power Steering Pulley

Seems simpler than trying to change the caster or trying to dumb down the pressure by changing springs, valves or filtering.
Change the power steering gear to the lesser-turns-ratio? I did that to my 1966 and then went back and adjusted to much more caster--iirc, aligned it to '87 specs, maybe a tad more caster than even the '87. Each change improved the feel. Really handles well now.
