Re: Power steering pumps (how mundane...)

Tom,
 You won't get a pulley with the pump.
I have a 73 pump and pulley, but I don't think the pulley offset will work as it used the accesory slot IIRC. It was an AC car, but A/C was on drivers side. Can you measure the back of the pulley to the pump resevoir? I can measure mine and compare. 
If it will work I can send it with the dash.
If I had known on Sunday when I was grabbing parts my at my friends house he had a 84 XJ that had a dual pulley on it's P/S. you'd have had  better shot at getting one of the slots to line up!
On the subject. P/S pulleys are all pretty much the same if they are the press on type. You can get one from all GM products and adjust the forward and backward offset by pressing them on slightly more or less. You can even press them on backwards, but be carefull if you do that. You can't pull it back off if it is pressed on backwards!
