Headed to the JY tomorrow for a few things and one thing is power steering pump for the rack and pinion conversion on my Torino. I already have an aftermarket bracket that uses a Saginaw pump with a stud on the back. What's the best car to find this on? Did different years have different pressure? The rack is supposed to work with 800 - 1200 psi.

You can get a brand new one for under $80. Do not try to save money by getting a used one.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein. -
Really? I was seeing 100+ for different pumps.
But really either way, new or used, I need to know what pump to get.
Plus a used pump will come with a pulley and I can grab the hose end for my new hoses.
Were any offered with a serpentine pulley?1971 Ford Torino - Time to go bigger and better.

Many came with a serpentine pulley. If I recall correctly there were a few different generations of saginaw pumps and they differed in how the pulley was attached. Some just pressed on, some were held on with a nut and some were pressed on and there was a woodruff key on the shaft. I am not sure which one to tell you to get though; sorry. My statement of under $80 was Rockauto prices.Originally posted by Torinoman View PostMagnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.Comment

I'm really more concerned about line pressures but I found a place online that sells pistons that limit pressure to 800psi. For 20bucks at pick n pull I'll just grab a pump with a pulley and take my chances I guess.Last edited by Torinoman; 04-22-2016, 10:20 PM.1971 Ford Torino - Time to go bigger and better.

I just remembered that there is a Saginaw pump that has a remote reservoir that is the model used most often for power steering systems on dirt track cars and aftermarket PS kits.Magnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.Comment

I think so but things are a little fuzzy for me at the moment. Been up too long and ingesting too much caffeine today will not let me go to sleep.Originally posted by Torinoman View PostMagnus, I am your father. You need to ask your mother about a man named Calvin Klein.Comment

Didn't end up getting one. They only had trucks with press on pulleys which made removing the pump a pain in the ass. It was way more trouble than it was worth.
Guess I'll just buy a new one1971 Ford Torino - Time to go bigger and better.
