It's sad that most people today don't even know who Popeye is besides chicken!you should test the actual pressure the ps pump is putting out........or eat alot of this

How would I go about testing the pressure besides unhooking the line and turning over motor and watching it spew out?you should test the actual pressure the ps pump is putting out........or eat alot of this
Thanks for the info.. Will the AC Delco 36P1265 bolt up the same on camino?Not sure if this will help, but I'm doing an LS swap on my 85 SS and going thru steering suspension etc. The 5.3l power steering pump is for rack & pinion and I know they run at some different pressures etc. I already have an IROC steering box for the SS and going to go with a power steering pump & reservoir for a 3rd gen Camaro (AC Delco 36P1265). I have read that the valve, spring pressures are different compared to the 5.3l pumps. Problem is you can't just buy the valve & springs anymore. The reason I'm going this way is I have the same setup in my 85 IROC and the steering works great (245/50/16 tires). The 85 MCSS/El Camino power steering pump is a different part # (36P1254) than the Camaro. Different pump & valving/pressure.

Ok cool. I drove it to town today and had no issues. Might have had some air in the system still.
I will give it a try when I am able to buy one. Thanks a million.The pump should bolt up. The bolt pattern looks the same. I haven't done mine yet, but pretty confident with it. The 5.3l pump has the same bolt pattern.
I have had the JGC steering box on for a while now and I am still having issues with the steering...I have had everything replaced under the front end and every time I get into a groove on the road it will pull me. I still have a little slack in the steering wheel. I have tried to tighten the box up but that only helped a very small amount. The car will also not straighten up on its own..If I have the wheel turned a small amount it will stay there.Big turns will bring it back toward center but never does it center. Like my 2000 4x4 Chevy truck.. I have previously backed off the adjustment screw/bolt and that wasn't the cause for it to stick. I guess that's a good term..lol..I have had it to a front end shop a few times and all is good. It still may be my box I guess. Does anyone else have this issue?
I'm getting to this point on my 85 Bonne project. Are you sure you have this right? If so, I'm good, but I think you have it backwards. Assuming that 5.3 came from a truck, they have boxes not racks. My donor 02 Firebird was a rack, and that is the pump I have. Will it work with a box or not?Not sure if this will help, but I'm doing an LS swap on my 85 SS and going thru steering suspension etc. The 5.3l power steering pump is for rack & pinion and I know they run at some different pressures etc. I already have an IROC steering box for the SS and going to go with a power steering pump & reservoir for a 3rd gen Camaro (AC Delco 36P1265).
