I've bolted on a stock power steering assembly from a '64 Laurentian. It works really well considering that I pulled it off a car sitting out in a farm field. It is a little chuggy when I turn the wheel all the way over to the right and left. I had great success with a power steering fluid transfusion from BG products a few years back on my Lemans, and was wondering if I should flush out this older unit. Since the filler cap says use transmission fluid only, I'm not sure I'd get any lubrication benefits from say a Lucas powering steering additive. Plus it doesn't seem to be leaking, so i'd kick myself if I cause any leaks after flushing. Any advice, opinions or experience would be greatly appreciated.
