    Did you put a pressure reduction kit in your power steering pump? They put out way to much pressure for a ford rack. I got mine on eBay.

    Do it right, build a bracket to mount the Ford pump.

    The first rack I had on leaked before I even started it with the 348 and type II pump,but I didn't have the pressure turned down and it was awful touchy going down the road. I got reducing kit with both the relief valve and orificed down fitting with this rack and Saginaw pump and wow, it drives 100 times better. I could put a Ford pump on to match it perfect like Tech mentioned but it works good for right now, maybe this winter I'll look at doing that.
