Post power steering puking

Hey, I just swapped a power steering setup into my 300-powered 77 F100 2wd (box, pump, and column), and I can't seem to keep the thing from puking PS fluid out of the dipstick tube, all over my freshly painted engine and shiny new induction system. Does anyone have any ideas or remedies for this? Thanks.

power steering puking

My PS was doing that after I changed the power steering pump. I took a suggestion of some guys here and jacked up the vehicle with both tires off the ground, started the truck and turned the wheel back and forth till PS started to work and it quit puking the fluid. I had to add some a few times, and the air worked it self out.

Maybe that will help.
