New style pump and gear box are metric Thread, older style are SAE thread for the supply and return hose.

New style gear box is 3.5 steering turns end to end and older style 4 turns

As far as steering feel they would both have the same quick feel ,I have a early style pump and gear box on my 68 and a new style steering parts on my 69 and both have that same quick feel , (NORMAL)

these are not rack & pinion steering components as on what most likely you have gotten used to driving over the last 10 years or so...

also I think smaller steering wheels make it feel a little sharper then the stock size , I think you are fine just need to have faith and get use to the feel
