Within the 1.06 is the power steering pressure relief valve.
I need to increase the steering assist at idle and lower rpm.
My question is, for more assist would you turn the relief valve clockwise or counter clockwise.

Thank You

Oh ya. I now know your not supposed to mess with it beer

if that is for a saginaw pump, the assist is adjusted with shims, according to an article e-burg wrote for mopar action several years ago.
as i remember, less shims, more assist. that article is floating around somewhere.
if that is for a federal pump, i can't answer.

road - I didn’t think the relief valves were adjustable other than adjusting the shim thickness. confused

When I rebuilt a Federal pump recently I found no information on adjusting them.

The MA article is for a Saginaw.
