Power steering

Reference to 63 Avanti, does anyone know the operating pressure and relief valve pressure of the power steering system?

As a direct answer to your question - I do not know, but someone probably does.  Why do you want/need this?  I have owned several Avantis and worked on many more and never had a need for this.

Interesting question!....since period Fords and Mercs used that same Eaton pump, perhaps that info can be found on the Ford website?

When working on any hydraulic system to know where you are with it you need to know the system spec's, I understand some peoples positions where "it works or it does not work" this is not any different then taking a compression test on an engine.
