Default Questions On A 66 GTO

Been awhile since I have been on the forum and as usual I need a few questions answered on my 66 GTO.

1) When restored I added power steering and since then ever time you make a tight turn with it the belts squeal. I have tried the original belts from PY, both grooved and smooth belts, went 1-2 sizes smaller and it seems the ps belt still lacks a little bit of getting tight enough to stop the squealing. As I best remember all the ps parts were correct. Its a 389 4 speed 4 barrel carburetor car. Any thoughts here?? I am at a loss.

2) This to deals with the steering. To me it takes way to wide an area to turn this car. It has the standard ratio steering and I realize that due to their size the turning radius is not the best, but this seems too much. Are there steering stops that I can adjust or is this the way standard ratio is?

3) Correct speedometer gear in transmission, 4 speed (M21) & 3.73:1 positive traction rear end with 275/60/15 on the rear. How do I go about selecting the correct gears of the speedometer drive?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Larry
