Re: [Amc-list] Chevy power steering pump

Sorry.  Hit send too soon.

You should already have one.  The actual brand of the pump is Saginaw.  
(Wholly owned subsidiary of GM, I believe.)  You have a 71 Javelin, right?  
AMC used Eaton pumps up through 69 or 70, then switched to Saginaw.  The 
early Saginaw pumps had more of a round tank, instead of the tear-drop style 
that you're used to seeing.  What does the cap look like?  Is it the standard 
twist-off cap with a little dipstick attached?  If so, you probably have an 
older Saginaw.  The bracket should fit fine.  I switched one a couple of 
years ago on a 72 Javelin.  (The motor came from a 71 Matador.)  If you want, 
the old pump is in the basement and I can snap a couple pictures for 
comparison.

Later,

Todd
