Does not seem to be anything out there. The speed equipment suppliers like Jegs list it but with a $500 core charge and $245 for the rebuild. Where is it leaking from? You can get the rebuild kit for under $10. I am sure you could find a local garage to do it for you. Perhaps a transmission shop. :)

Thanks so much for looking, I really appreciate it. I found a place that will rebuild mine. I send it to them and they give me an estimate; hopefully a reasonable amount If that doesnt work than I'll get a rebuild kit and do it myself.

Thanks again.

It can only be leaking in two places--the front shaft seal or the can o ring unless it is the line connections. I the pump is working fine make sure the rebuilder knows it is just leaking. :)

How about Rock Auto? They usually have a variety of suppliers depending on how much you wish to pay.

Appleyards over here normally have rebuilt ones in stock, they are done in the USA and then sent to Andy here, I am sure he will send one back to you from here, the long travelled P/S pump :lol: .. Give him a call Elemgee :wink:

The closest thing Rock Auto had was a rebuilt pump that I would have bought, but it came with a $500 core charge. I didn't want to take the chance on them losing my return of the core. So I just sent mine out to a place that rebuilds them. I also sent Appleyards an email asking them if they carry the pump, in the event the rebuilder doesnt pan out.

Thanks for the suggestions.

You asked about a Saginaw pump which I fitted last year. I like it but eventually just got a bracket, Saginaw pump, and pulley from 440Source. Trying to figure out which Saginaw pump myself saw me wasting money by trial and error. I think the the design of the Saginaw is less likely to leak at the reservoir joint.

I took my old power steering pump to the local NAPA store and they secured a rebuilt pump and attached my original pulley to it...works fine.
