Default lsx ps pump to saginaw steering box

i am using a stock '98 Z 28 power steering pump and ls1 in my '67 elcamino. It has the stock ('67) style steering gear in it. I have not driven the car much, but it builds up pressure in the p/s pump resivoir when the engine runs. I wondered if anyone else is using this set up, and if I need to change something inside the pump? I also rebuild the steering gear before I ran this combo, and it has a leak at the adjustment nut on top of the cover. I have never seen a gear leak there before, and was hoping someone could suggest anything that would help.

Thanks!

Same as Pete. I am using the LS1 pump with a 68 Nova steering box and no issues or leaks at all. Seems to work just fine

Thanks for the reply's. I must have done something wrong when I rebuilt the steering box.
