Default Steering issue

Hello all,
I recently replaced my power steering line, and in doing so, pulled out the part that all the steering lines connect to. (cant think of the name now)
Anyway, after putting it all back together, I took it for a test drive and it when I go to turn right, it seems to "pull" hard in that direction. Left isnt bad, but its almost dangerous. Is there some sort of adjustent that can be done?
Sorry, 68 mustang, 302 stock steering system, stock suspension.
Thanks,

Lemme get this straight- you removed the control valve when replacing a hose?

The left/right problem you describe sounds like the valve needs to be rebuilt.

yea, I had to remove the valve because the housing that the power steering line goes into got crossed threaded from a previous install. (not me) So I had to remove it and tap it so I didn't have to replace it. And that's when I put everything back in and starting having this problem. Is there an adjustment that can be done? I don't have a whole lost of experience with steering, so any help is grateful.
Thanks,

You rethreaded an inverted flare?

The only adjustment is the spool valve spring tension, which probably won't help you. I suspect it's time for a rebuild.
