I converted my 68 from manual steering to power with the flaming river set up, including the drop bracket for headers. The only problem is, when I turn the wheel, left mainly, when the car is not rolling, the whole system vibrates violently. The steering seems to work well driving down the road. Any ideas?

Are you running wide front tires? I have the same behavior on my '68 when I put 17x8's on the front...

Do you have the drop bracket for the headers? Mine also seems to vibrate just a little bit when the vehicle is on the hoist in the air. Like I said, mainly left.

Ok, so here it is. The problem with the steering is a bad NEW control valve purchased through Summit made by Flaming River. Not one $250 NEW valve but TWO NEW VALVES. I put on a used valve that I rebuilt and have no vibration. If any of you have a vibration in the power steering after installing a new control valve, it's NOT because of your wide tires. Just some info.
