power steering pump causing stalling? 140-160 1970



The saga continues:

I got a belt that goes from the power steering to crank pulley

and put it on while I was installing the new front crank vibration

damper thingy.

Now, sometimes when I come to a stop after revving the motor,

the car will stall out. When I did not have the power steering

hooked up, the car never stalled like this.

The car has the same fluid in the power steering pump as when I

got it. How would I drain and replace this fluid? What sort of

juice should I use?

Could it be stalling because the timing was way off from when I

set it with the semi-broken timing gear and broken vibration

damper?

Lastly, about setting the timing -- since I replaced the stromburgs

with SUs, the advance mechanism doesn't have a place to attach one

of the vacuum hoses. There were two on my distributor -- one to the

rear carburator and one to the intake manifold. I leave the one

that went to the carburator hanging over the valve cover and the

other attached to the intake manifold.
