Mopar Action magazine showed how to DEcrease the boost from the pump to INcrease the steering effort and road feel. You're welcome.

The info I came across mention the federaL pump as being 2-stage providing less pressure at speed and the saginaw as needing to have an orfice plug to drop the pressure down for comparable steering feel.

Yes there is, 1972 B body I worked on had a saginaw pump on it from the factory. I ASSuMEd the OP had a saninaw pump setup for a smallblock complete and was wondering if it would work in place of the federal , didn't realize he was trying to reinvent the wheel .
