i had a 70 'cuda that had a problem like that.
a valve was bad on the steering box.
if i let go of the wheel it would turn to the right as fast as possible.
the ride home after i bought it was interesting.
had to really hold on to the wheel when shifting the 4 speed.
did it work alright for 2 months and then start this problem?

Answer, it can't. PS pumps only pump fluid in one direction at a constant pressure, what work is done with that pressure is contoled by the steering box.

The origional p/s pump blew up on me, really it did blow up. Then I replaced it with a cheep one from auto zone. When it was about 2 weeks old it starting whining real bad and wouldn't turn left, and all you had to do to turn right was let go of the wheel. New pump fixed the problem. Dont tell me it cant, because it did. I guess that it is possible that draining the fluid could have disslodged some gunk from the box there by fixing the problem, but I have to this day never touched the box.
