I'm almost ready to take my coronet to a mechanic and have him do it. The steering box was leaking on the car where the steering shaft go in it. I took it out (with headers which sucked) and put in a donor from a 69 smashed up charger. Well after hoolking eveything back up it didnt work too hot and return wasn't working properly. Ok plan B rebuild the old one with new seals, bearings the whole kit. Put it back in and hook it up and it purs like a kitten. Excpet>>>>> now the power steering is pulling hard to the left. If I let go of the wheel it spins left???? :brickwall: Buddy says somthing internal in the steering box with presure?.. I hope its just a slight adjustment.. Anyone with an idea?

Yep that'll be it for sure.
Remember, only the slightest adjustment at a time.
And take care not to have your  hands too close to (or through) the steering wheel when you start her up as the wheel can spin REAL fast and potentially break your wrist if it kicks off hard.
Gotta love a '69
