I dont know what's been done to the car as i've only had it a few months and most of that time i've spent fixing things. From what i can gather most states in the US dont have any sort of road safety test on old cars and every time i buy one i have to get loads of stuff working. Well i fixed most things but when i took it to be tested they failed it on the steering, the box was loose, that was an easy fix but the power steering not quite so easy, tomorrow i'm going to try turning the pump by hand to see what it's doing, then i'm going to take the return off and drop into a jug and get someone to fire the car up to see if it's pumping ok and if it increases when the steering is turned. From looking online there only seems to be 2 types of pump and i'm hoping my friend will have one.
