need help with power steering chevelle here is my setup and problem..
65 chevelle ls2 motor, turbo, 4l80e etcetc i have a agr power steering pump, custom billet reservor, and had a stock chevelle gear box everything was great. but my stock gear box had a small leak so i was looking into a quick steer box and found out that the 98 jeep grand cherokee box has the same turn radius but it has a 12:7 ratio so i did the swap and now when i drive and come to a red light the steering gets really hard to turn as im slowing down to the light. there are no weird noises or sounds coming from the motor bacy
any help would be great thanx

Check for air in the lines.
Jack the front end up so the tires are off the ground. Start engine and slowly turn the wheel from left to right making sure not to get to the limiter. Add fluid as needed while you do it.

i have already done that 3 times for about 20-25mins at a time going lock to lock.. there always seems to be little bubbles that come up the reservor, when i turn lock to lock the fluid rises and lowers and there will always be little bubbles in it..
