Steering effort for manual 16:1 - should it be this high?

how do you like it? I have no idea what kind of current something like this might draw. Did you need to upgrade the alternator or anything else?

only done one test drive so far but it's just right. full assist is firmer than a stock 60's P/S setup, not over boosted, but still 1 armed parking lot doable. with the assist at it's lowest it's almost as if it's off. i used a kit from EPAS Performance. it's a very nice set up and if i'd used the stock column, and just followed their instructions, it would have gone easy. since i had an IDIDIT tilt column i wanted to use, i managed to over complicate it, much to my enjoyment :D. also the floor plate for their kit is only for a 65'. they didn't realize all the different A-body floor plates that were used. i've sent them the info to correct that. i just made my own from 3/8" aluminum. as far as the alternator, i already have a 75A powermaster with a lot of re-wiring. supposedly this only draws 9A max
