67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver

I made it back to where the car is for a family function and got some time in-between winterizing the other vehicles. I finally started it after the work that was described above and holy cow!! You could balance a nickel on that engine at idle it was so smooth! the idle sounded awesome! After I tried to break in the new lifter I had installed I decided to take it up the street. Under load and heavy acceleration there was no backfiring!! I was ecstatic! Even better is that the temperature stayed consistent with the new radiator.

A couple things I noticed was the car did not like to charge at all. I dont believe it is the voltage regulator, since I know that is a known good one. However I do not know if the alternator is in decent shape. Easy enough to check out.

Another thing that is and has been problematic with this car was the steering wheel will automatically turn right. Even at idle the steering wheel will start turning to the right without any input from the driver. This is even worse when your trying to accelerate with one hand on the wheel trying to shift and fighting to keep the car straight. How can I address this situation? The steering pump is new and the steering gear is a remanufactured one. It is a federal pump. The solution is here
