I have a 72 corvette convertible and rebuilt the power steering pump, control valve and power steering pump. I now have no power steering. Any ideas what I should check first. Is there a way to check each item to determine if it is working properly? Thanks David

You could loosen fittings one at a time to check for pressure at various points. If I had to guess, I would say thet you crossed you lines at some point.

Have you bled the lines of air, and balanced the system? A check valve replaced in reverse?
