Jag XJS Rack and Pinion '62 Ford F100
Hello,
I've been searching the web with no results concerning whether a Saginaw power steering pump is okay to use with the XJS rack and pinion. I purchased a '62 Ford F100 pickup from a guy that installed the rack/pinion steering and used what looks like an old Saginaw pump. I can hear a "whising" sound when I turn and sometimes while at a stop, turning the steering wheel, I hear a "groan" and for an instant during the groan there is no power assist. Just for an instant. I'm going to go ahead and get a new Saginaw pump. Is there a certain PSI the rack and pinion requires? Or can I just install the Saginaw, fill with fluid, break the pump in and drive off into the sunset?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
