There is an adjustable pressure reducing device available to cure these symptoms from people like Summit, Speedway Motors, etc. I would second a guess that your pressure is too high causing the twitchyness.Frank van Doorn

I have a Chevy (GM) ps reservoir pump (looks like a upside down V) on my truck with a 259 motor and a changed steering box type unknown. It works fine but it is sort of tall for the rest of the motor. I plain to change out to a Stude reservoir pump this week after modifying to a 2-groove pulley. Pictures here:

Studebaker used the GM power steering pump on the same Bendix power steering units for the 65's & 66's so I don't think the pump being a GM pump would make any difference. It may be the pulley is too small?59 Lark wagon, now V-8, H.D. auto!
