Just went through this. Tank was full of rust and sender was crap. Red / Pink fuel pouring out of the filter, cut it open horrible. Also replaced all injectors, got another tank and sending unit, filter, fuel pump. I don't your quick fix worked for very long. Was there a follow up??
Actually, base model 1979-1981's came with manual rack and pinion steering unless opted for Deluxe (J) or the Luxury (GL) Trim which would have came with recirculating ball power steering. Of course, this and a few other things make this Base '79 much lighter than the rest of the ZX's line.

Who was the maker of the aftermarket pump, it is quiet!!! Great Vid!!
That car should have power steering, my 82 does. Might want to check the fluid if its that stiff.

need to adjust the valves.... way too much tappet noise... I've owned 2 1983 Z's .. now have a 1981 280zx turbo
What exactly did you clean?
There was a bunch of rusty gummy build up from the old gas that was partially clogging the inlet of the fuel pump.
