Default Odd Power Steering Issue

Hi,

Am about 99% finished with the '76 Limited Edition T/A project and have encountered a confounding power steering issue.

Power steering works intermittently - fine for a while, then reverts to manual steering without much warning. Interesting when turning left in traffic and it decides to let you handle things!

Set up is essentially stock. Original gearbox that has been rebuilt (twice actually). The original reservoir with a new pump (rebuilt). The first replacement pump has now been replaced as well. Lines were new when installed, but sat without any use for quite a while as the last of the bodywork and assembly were completed.

Only other modifications are a Hotchkiss suspension that lowered the car 1-1/2" and the Year One 17 x 9 inch aluminum honeycomb wheels. There is also the stroked 1974 400 block, but I don't think that is relevant...

Just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar or had any suggestions as to what next steps should be to resolve the problem.

Thanks for any insights you care to share.

Kevin
