Power Steering/Engine Stall

1979 F150,2WDR,351W-

When parked,if I turn the steering wheel all the way to stop left or right,the power steering pump pully will stop turning.If I wanted to, I could stall the motor.I am not in the habbit of turning the wheels as far as they can go,if I can I avoid it at all times.But this is something I have never seen before.What might cause this?

There is a bypass valve or pressure release valve on power steering pumps so that when they are at lock the dont dead head and burn up. I bet yours is not functioning.
