Hi, I just installed a 402BB in my 71 and used all the correct brackets and PS pump from our year trucks. Started the engine for the first time today and went to top off the PS with fluid, and noticed it didn't suck any into the pump? Also, the PS didn't work. Is there something I have to do to prime the lines or pump? It's the BB type with the reservoir mounted the the left front fender.
Thanks
