I have a 68 charger survivor I drive weekly. My power steering pump is starting to leak behind the pulley. I put stop leak in sometime ago because the gearbox was leaking, took care of the gearbox problem.
I think the pump is original, not sure. I'm looking for suggestions on maybe replacing it and with what and from who. Or rebuilding it if possible if I myself can do it.

I live 30 miles out of town and don't want any down time cause I want to drive it.

thanks

That is a Federal pump they can be troublesome. I replaced mine with a Saginaw pump and bracket kit from 440 Source.
You can buy all the parts to swap and it is easy.

I like survivors too, no need to throw the baby out with the bath water.
New shaft seals are cheap, fairly easy to find, and pop in.
It's the pulley r+r thats discouraging. Usually can get a loan a tool kit. But I can't recall if you have to take the tank off to press it back on.
