I installed a new power steering pump, calibrated the control valve and drove the car for about fifteen minutes (didn’t want to get too far from home) and everything is back to normal. Old pump gave no indication of impending failure and I had my doubts that a new pump would resolve this. Thanks for all the input and help, I’ll update if something changes.
New pump or newer? I ran across this problem in a 90s gm van, the new pump i installed has a filter with magnet which can dislodge and block the return.
BikeSpace, You can convert to stock-style manual steering or Borgeson, though you'll need to get your power steering pump squared away in the later case.
I've done one of each. Ask, and I can post links/instructions.
Most impressive post and indeed I'd like your information regarding the conversion to a stock-style manual steering system
for my 78SA!!!
