Yes I think I have tried everything to no avail. I would have swapped for a new steering gear but that option was not offered to me so I have been living with it because I have no choice. I would be thrilled if you end up figuring out the root cause. In the meantime I will try to figure out...

I don't know how to post pictures here but I will give it a try so you can see my pressure line set up. When you say spacer behind the pump, do you mean the steering gear? If so, I actually did that very thing because mine was angled just like yours. It helped line things up more directly with...

Myrtle, I feel your pain and wish I had the answer. After spending a lot of money upgrading my original PS pump to Saginaw as well as the pulley and hose kit from BAC, my noise is exactly the same. Seems some of the Borgeson steering gears make this noise and others don't for whatever reason...

I bought my new Saginaw pump directly from BAC.

I have tried all the recommended solutions from BAC and I still have the hissing noise. However, I have not tried lowering the pump pressure so I may look into that. So far it has continued on both my original Chrysler pump as well as the newer Sagninaw pump. My seal at the bottom of the...

Good thought I will check that and get back to you

Ha I know exactly what you are talking about with the Ford PS pump whine. I have a 78 Mustang II and fought that for a long time until I finally converted it to a non-ford style pump. I am tech challenged but I will try to figure out how to post a video of the noise. I snugged the belt up and...

Thanks for the suggestions. I should have explained better I used the BAC slip coupler that came with the kit, not a U joint. The steering column seal is also in place. Maybe I will try a different belt and re-tightening per Ricks instructions with a breaker bar and see if I can get the...

Thanks for the response. I forgot to mention the pulley and belt are brand new. I also used the U joint that came with the kit supplied from Bergman Auto. Peter is out of ideas on the hissing sound, but the bigger issue is the squealing/chattering now with the new pump. It only occurs when I...

I have been chasing some power steering issues and could use some advice. Over the past winter I rebuilt all of the steering and suspension components on my 72 Dart /6. I installed a new Borgeson steering box from Bergman Auto Craft. The steering now feels great, but I was getting a terrible...

I got part #70-2752-81 which is for a car with vinyl top I believe

I am in the process of replacing my rear window seal on my 1972 Dart with a vinyl top. I ordered a replacement seal from Steele. When I put the glass into the seal per the instructions (1st step) the seal appears to be too large and won't stay on the glass. It will bunch up in the last...

Thanks for the suggestions. Are the votes for 2-stage due to the difficulty of laying out metallic with a single stage? I am just wondering if a single stage satin would be a little more forgiving in that regard. Vinyl wrap would be out because this is a complete color change and I will be...

Hello, I am looking for a bit of advice. I will be painting my 72 Dart soon in my garage and I am trying to decide on paint. I am going with a metallic champagne type of color. I am kind of burned out on really shiny paint, so I am looking at satin/matte options. I was originally looking at...
