Anyone have a workable idea on how to reduce the boost from a stock power steering pump, without affecting the visual appearance?  I hate that "pinky finger" power steering feel. 

Cheers,

u can go on ebay and look for a by-pass valve. it connects the 2 fluid lines together and valve in between. opening the valve takes the hi side and flows it into the low side giving u less pressure. the more u open the closer it gets to manual steering.

 
Just watched a U-Tube video of 73 build. The owner is using a Heitz (don't know if that is spelled right) pressure regulator tied to his PS system to keep fluid pressure from increasing as engine revs higher.

Paste this to your browser to watch the install ........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q335MzHhc8A ........

Be advised that there is more going on in this video than PS. Brakes, Clutch, et. You may have to move FF on video to get to PS segment.

Hope this will help.
