Well it won't be the power steering pump.
Could be a number of other things though. First thing I'd check is the bolts holding the steering box itself are tight.
Also get someone to turn the wheel while you observe everything, coupler as mentioned, also pitman arm, tie rods etc.

I went with a power brake kit from PST, made by Leed Brakes. 10" discs I think, nothing fancy, so I could use the 14" Magnum 500's I had.
Works great, strong & even braking, definitely better than the drums I had on it. Kit came with a proportioning valve but I didn't use it, just a new...
Just use some rubber lines for now to move the car into the garage, you should be able to buy a few feet at your local parts store. You can buy a roll of aluminium fuel line for probably $30 and then make your own very easily over the winter.
Jake Paul is a **** boxer and Mike Tyson could barely walk after Round 1.
There's guys at my local Muay Thai club who could beat Jake Paul in boxing, guys that work normal jobs all day but train hard in the evenings. There would be thousands of ranked boxers around the world who could waste...
If it's a street car running on pump gas I'd aim for 9.5:1 to avoid potential detonation issues. I'm at 10.8:1 and need to be careful with timing, vac advance etc because of this issue.
Yes engine is a 318 poly with a 3.58" crank. It should go faster, stock 4 barrel intake and a fairly small cam holds it back, but it's a great combo on the street. I'm going to port the intake on the advice of Gary Pavlovich which should help, and if cam changes weren't such a gamble these days...
I'm not knocking you as everyone has different wrenching abilities but if you're going to own an old car it would pay to start doing stuff yourself - you'll save a heap of money and probably have fun along the way. With practice you'll know when something is tight, when something is about to...
Best time - 14.558 @ 96.78 mph with the TKX & Edelbrock AVS2 650
Best time - 14.418 @ 98.54 mph with the 727 & Edelbrock AVS2 650
Best time - 14.104 @ 99.80 mph with the 727 & Holley 600 Vac Sec
I'm going again at the end of the month and I'm going to swap the Holley back on beforehand. Part...
There's probably no information because it's irrelevant.
Just tighten them up enough so they don't come loose. You should be able to feel it. It's definitely not 5 lbs/ft, a child could do that. Probably around 30-40lbs/ft at a guess, but could be more. I've never put a torque wrench on...
Day to day driving is fine, but reverse parking is a bit more challenging than before, twisting around to look behind while juggling the clutch. I've had two close calls recently in carparks, pure fluke I didn't hit the concrete the last time.
I've had the TKX in about 6 weeks now after replacing the 727. Yesterday evening was it's first outing at the track. After a 500 mile break-in I put the Tremec MTF fluid in and I was all set to go.
I've got the Mal Wood Underdash Hydraulic pedal unit so the only visible change under the hood is...
If you're pulling the whole front end out once the strut rod is loose and the LCA nut is off you can lever the LCA against the k frame with a pry bar and the torsion bar should just slide back. Obviously remove the retaining clip off the torsion bar first. That's how I removed mine the first...
How the hell are you going to get the clamp over the bar? If it's flimsy enough to spring right open to go over the bar it will be too flimsy to work. There's nothing much to hammer against either. I just made one with a couple of pieces of timber, notched out to fit the bar, and then a couple...
Unfortunately there have been a few bad reports about Passon transmissions. I know there's always a % of people who will have problems but from the ones I've read it made me stay clear. I went with a Tremec TKX instead.
Not sure why you had to remove 4 extra inches from the floorpan because of...
Bob,
What don't you start a thread entitled "FACT not FICTION" and write a list of all the common arguments and where people are going wrong. It should be at least 20 pages and will keep you out of trouble for a while. They may even make it a Sticky.
Perhaps start with:
1. Tapered Roller...
Went to the city, 100 mile round trip. Had to stop off at a local forest to drop off a little visitor I caught in my garage. I can't kill them, I live on acreage and they live there too.
The multi-storey parking I left the car has got a crazy steep ramp leading in and out. It doesn't show on the...
