I've got problems!! Swapped in my 5.9 mag from a Dodge Dakota into my 65 Dart. The p/s pump is foaming the fluid and making a lot of noise. I swapped in another pump, same thing. I installed a kit in the original pump that came on the 5.9, same thing. When I first crank it, it is fine. It steers just like a Mopar, no effort required. After it starts to foam, steering is no so good.
Does the pump from the Dakota make more pressure than the Saginaw pump I had installed on the Dart? I tried to use the pump that I had on the 273, but the body was indexed differently.
I need help before I start throwing money at this problem.

Sounds like it use as air in it run it let it settle top up and repeat. Check for leaking lines or right rack maybe allowing air in as well.
