Re: PS Pressure????

Hmmm.... I thought there was a valve in the PUMP you could add/subtract washers to change the pressure. I may have to get an in-line valve after all. Borgeson makes a pressure change kit for GM steering as well -- might be for the pump though since I've heard the hot rodders talking about it.

If you very carefully take that nut off, thats the tricky part, don't damage any of the machined surfaces or crush the valve. One of the companys that specializes in steering makes a tool. I think it is Mullins? Anyway get that nut off. To decrease pressure add washers or to increase presure take them away.
