Power Steering

[parchisi]

Hi, I'm currently trying to wrap up a 408 swap into my 95, so this will probably be the first of many questions you'll hear from me. When I disconnected the power steering pump, I drained out all the fluid, so when I reinstall it, do I have to bleed the system and if I do, where is the bleeder? Any other tips if I have to bleed it? Thank you for your time folks.

Anybody? Can I just dump the PS fluid into the reservoir and start her up, or do I have to bleed something first? Thanks.

I just finished reattaching my p/s pump after 6 months of down time. I took the return line off and pushed it down in the engine bay so the fluid could drain into a catch pan. I then filled the pump and spun the pulley by hand until I saw clean, fresh fluid coming out of the return. I reattached the return to the pump and topped off the fluid.

I haven't started the car yet but I believe this to be the proper way to bleed the system. As far as I can see there is no bleed valve on the stock system.

Hope this helps!
