Spent the last two days switching the manuel steering in the 68 to a 78/79 Bronco power steering box, and saginaw power steering pump... and the little bastard fought me the whole way.... nothing lined up, had to adjust for everything.... anyway...
I finished it up today, filled it full of fluid, and started it up... With the front tires off the ground, the steering wheel would not turn... so I strong armed it, and felt a pop... now it will turn, but I have no power steering....
I was getting some froth, and little bubbles... so I'm guessing (hoping) that it still has some air trapped... I kept it full and turned the wheel from side to side a few times, but it wasn't as easy as it should have been.... Drove it around the house a couple times and still no power steering...
I know the pump is good.. I just took it off the ol lady's Bronco not to long ago, and I can see the fluid level go down when I throttle the carb...
So what do you all think... air trapped in the system ??
