Default steering wheel possessed ?

I recently changed my power steering hoses all of them to get a fresh new start along with the new 450 hp 350 ,after I finally started my 77 up and set ,timing up I noticed that the steering wheel was moving back and forth b it self I and thinking I must have installed the power steering hoses up back wards ,would this cause the steering wheel to turn back and forth by it self or do I need a priest to evict the demands ? any one know ? :

I Have to assume it will clear itself of the bubbles and fluids in the lines....turn from side to side, lock to lock, and leave overnight with no leaks....as see what happens....this fluid bubble tschituation is funny sometimes.....mostly just the pump moans like a cheep hooker.....

but other symptoms are known....

Probably got the lines wrong. They should be crossed from the valve to the cylinder. It will shake like the devil.
