Thanks to all for the info! It makes sense to try the other pressure control valve and outlet fitting. The '60's pumps are identical to GM's pumps 20+ years later, so different control valve components should make the pump work with faster ratio boxes.
I believe the soldered joint is the sheet metal "neck" soldered onto the pump housing (reservoir) on these early pumps. I've heard of this joint melting under severe duty such as circle track racing. As many of you know, all the '60's GM cars specified "Type A Transmission Fluid" (Dexron) ONLY to be used in the power steering system. It was many years later that the same components were still being used, but "Power Steering Fluid" was specified.
