Hey all hope you all are well. I recently installed a borgeson powers steering box on my 66 Mustang and a 68 collapsable steering column I've been working on getting the alignment good enough on my own so I can drive it to the local alignment shop. However. I'm thinking that I need to replace the power steering pump. I currently have a pump that took ATF fluid and I know the borgeson uses power steering fluid. Being in a hurry to drive it and not to much cash on hand I used the same power steering pump I had but filled it with power steering fluid. I've notice when I pull the car out of the garage and tinker with it and pull it back in that there is power steering fluid on the ground and the side inner fender. Almost like its shooting it out from the pump when I'm turning the wheel.
Can anyone tell me if it sounds like I need to drain some of the fluid or pick up a Saginaw pump. And if so is there a certain car I can pull one from in a junk yard or am I better off saving up and getting a new one.
Thanks.
Evan.
