So I think I've read every post here on power steering, at least those within the past few years, and I haven't been able to find the answer to my question. I swapped out my old power steering lines for a big block setup. Started the car up and after a minute the steering wheel started vibrating violent left to right. I then read a bunch of threads and figured that it was because I needed to bleed the system. I started it back up, let it get warm and then started turning the wheel from lock to lock, the only thing is that once it hits one side it auto turns itself to the other side and continues this pattern until I shut the car off. I have the dipstick off the pump and it's shooting fluid out and making a mess. The longest I've let it go on like this is 5 minutes but it doesn't seem to want to stop. Is this normal?
FYI, I've quadruple checked that the lines are in correctly. I'd read that you can get the lines from the ram to the control valve switched and it might do this but I am 99.9% sure they are in correctly...I installed them per my 68 Ford/Mercury shop manual.
