>My '50 is running and really close to being back on the road.  Trouble is
the steering.  I've got the Must. II power rack and a remote reservoir
steering pump from a (gulp!) N*ss*an 200sx.  The pump was chosen for
compactness of size and the fact that it was also driving a rack and pinion.
The problem I'm having is that when trying to bleed the air from the system
the wheel jerks immediately from my hands and jerks back and forth on its
own (it's possessed!) until I am, with great effort, able to stop it.  To
bleed the air I'm supposed to turn the wheels slowly back and forth with the
engine running but this jerking gremlin is making that quite impossible.
Does anyone have any clues as to what might be causing this?  I'm power
steering illiterate so I'm completely baffled.  Thanks all.
