So the 91 I am building had a steering pump failure; of course after I put the motor in I begin to think...maybe the rack was/is the source of the failure? Any thoughts on that one???

Best practice is to rebuild both at the same time. Turn One is your friend.

Don't forget to clear the cooler too. Bits of failed pump wind up everywhere or so I gather.

Sorry if that's bad news,
