If you saw a power steering pump under the hood of Mel's car, I hate to say you're seeing things. Mel's car has an Armstrong power steering system, which means you have to have arms that are strong since the car has no power steering!! (I know, I've driven the car) That odd device you see is, I think, the factory smog pump that came on all 4-speed equipped cars.

I'm not used to see that pump under the hood of a '69. I have a 70 Jav with the "other" style pump and a 70 Hornet with the newer, what gives?
