I just changed out the steering box in the daily driver '72 because of a pretty bad leak. I replaced it with another 6 turn box I had as a spare for just such an occasion. Here's the question since I have no real frame of reference, the old box is super easy to turn, almost one finger steering easy. The new(er) box is much tighter/harder to turn. It seems to return to center better than the old one and track straight as far as I can tell. It feels a lot like more modern power steering. Since this is my only EB with power steering, and I have nothing to compare it to, which one is correct? Is it supposed to be super easy (think late 60's cadillac) or have a stiffer feel? Both are being powered by the same ford(thompson) pump. 31 inch tires if it matters.
Any thoughts?
