Hi,
rebuilding a ‘73 convertible. Swapped the 250 straight 6 for a 351W. Finally got the car moving and noticed stiff steering.
The original PS pump seized ( noticed by belt slipping), swapped it and as we installed the new pump to flush and bleed the system, noticed there is no fluid coming out of the return line. Only a intermittent drip at times.
and the fluid level in the pump is not going down. No leaks. When we turn the steering wheel ( front end raised) we hear some gurgling but no return fluid. New hoses are installed also. Any way to test-if the gearbox is bad?
