If I remember correctly, 600 psi is the min. spec.

No idea on GPM.

thanks. any idea on the max pressure these things can take?

i've now blown two power steering gear boxes out. i'm going to find a regulator. hopefully get the problem fixed.

PS its a different motor with a different power steering pump that is causing the problems. its not a stock pump.
