Tall Boy may have a point....Also....I let a dummy install a control valve and he did not adjust it..blew a pressure hose right out the fitting....
suggest you get it in the air, start engine with steering wheel centered..if valve is out of adjustment,the steering wheel will go left or right..if not,then purge air out...Chiltons Corvette repair manual section 8-38.
For valve balance:
