So after moving and get my shop together I’m finally back on my 63 bel air. I put my steering back together “which was completely dry” when I tried to bleed the steering it started shaking back & fourth like crazy! I know there is a ton of air I can see it foaming up in the pump but Im thinking I might have a line switched up? Any thoughts?

Not sure you can hook them up wrong. Are you bleeding but just turning the steering wheel from lock to lock without the engine running?

I nearly broke my arm once doing this on a 64 galaxie rebuilt the control valve and switched the lines and reached in thru the steering wheel to start the car as soon as the engine kicked off the wheel started whipping back and forth nearly broke my arm before I could get it out,it was black and blue and sore as hell for a while.

You have the two hoses in the wrong holes.
The bottom hose off the control valve goes to the outside or front of the car.
The top hose off the control valve goes to the rear of the car on the cylinder
