Power steering control valve

[A50shobx 8]

First off let me say hi to everyone kinda new to the sight . I have a 69 FB was my first car had for 24+yrs . Well I just rebuilt my power steering control valve because it was leaking now it gets really hard to turn . Bad rebuild?

Is it possible that you have a bind in the suspension or steering?

Did the spool valve slide back n forth easily? I use 2000 grit wet / dry sand paper to polish its machined surfaces. There's a screen mesh in the power steering pump that gets clogged. It has to never disassembled to get cleaned. If the problem started with the rebuild I'd stay at the control valve. Also that spool can be installed backwards.

Did you get the 2 small lines attached to the correct ports on the valve

Thanks guys for the replies but I ended up putting a new one in and kinda having the same problem .is it possible my pump went out at the same time ?? Seems tighter as it gets hotter .

Jack up the front end where both tires are off the ground, start up, how does it turn then? If steering wheel goes back and forth violently by itself, small hoses are hooked up wrong. Warning!!! Don't stink your hand in the wheel trying to stop it, you'll lose your wrist!!
