I have a common combination in my West Coast Cobra with 460 BBF - a Saginaw 'canned ham' pump and a Mustang II power steering rack.
Fixes: - Borgeson Power Steering Pump Pressure-Reducing Kit ( https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/brg-899001 ) - this will reduce the pressure from what the Saginaw pump generates to the pressure the steering rack is designed and built for. Reduces probability high pressure will blow past seals in rack. Widely available.
- Flow control valve - drops flow rate to the flow rate the rack is designed for and makes the steering less 'twitchy'. Mine is from Vintage Air ( https://www.summitracing.com/int/par...2001/overview/ ), but they're made by many companies and widely available.
