how can i tell if i have a saginaw pump? mine looks like the ones that are on the generic motors vehicles. i want to use bouchillon chrome brackets it says for saginaw but i wanna get a chrome pump also but all i can find is for gm would it be the same?
 
Federal pump has a tapped hole in the end of the pump shaft.
TRW/Thompson pump has a hex-shaped hole or no hole in the end of the pump shaft.
Federal pump uses a reservoir cap with "ears" much like a radiator cap.
TRW/Thompson pump uses a reservoir cap that is round and may have vertical serrations but no "ears".
NOTE:* Federal pump reservoir cap will fit on a TRW/Thompson pump.

That pump picture is one of my cars, I posted it on a pump topic in the past, and its a federal with no tapped hole at the pump shaft. Trw's have Trw cast in the pump right at the pressure port.
That picture is a late 68 pump in case you wanted to know.
