Seems the steering ram was set for around 1,000 psi to avoid destroying the Tucker steering apparatus.
So again need specs on the Dodge pumps. Especially the volume.

1975 Tucker 1544 - project and trips

The steering ram has 4.91 push and 4.22 sq.in. pull, so a push of 1” would be 4.91 cubic inches. Now how long would it take the Dodge pump to pump 1” into the ram?
No numbers on my Vickers pump, but the V20 series starts at 6 usgpm and goes up to 13 usgpm which is 1386 to 3003 cubic inches per minute.

The steering ram my Tucker uses is 11” stroke = 54 cubic inches push and 46 ci. pull.
IDK about the dodge pump. Vickers pumps the vanes didn't seal until a certain RPM. This let the engine start without the additional load of the hydraulic system. I know some pumps have a spring that keeps the vanes against the casing always. Vickers didn't and relied on centrifugal force to push them against the casing. Almost certainly not an issue, but a little bit of trivia.
