Replaced the power steering pump and control valve on my 70 Torino and now the steering has a life of its own. When I start the car the wheel moves violently back and forth once touched. only way to stop it is to turn off the engine. I think I may have gotten a bad control valve but not sure. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
