Recently purchased a 70 RR (383; auto; A/C; PS; PB)
Need to replace the power steering pump (I trashed it trying to get the pulley off...don't ask....been a bad day today for this Mopar newbie).
Anyway the 70 Mopar Service Manual (Belvedere/Fury/Barracuda/Valiant) I bought show two types; a .94 and a 1.06 (all the parts catalogs & Mopar parts site refer to the pumps as a Saginaw and a Federal. My car came with a 1.06 (Federal)....(been finding other parts on it that are the right parts....)
First question is to double check which type my RR is supposed to have....all lists/charts I have seen say a 383 is supposed to have a .94 type (Saginaw).
So since I need to get a replacement (with a pulley) and really cannot find a Federal (1.06) anywhere (two repro catalogs houses I called said if I ordered it and if it is still available it could take up to 3 months) and IF my RR is supposed to have a Saginaw type, looks like Saginaw will be easier to find.....
So my other question is if I change over to a Saginaw type what all will I also have to change? Will the hoses I have now fit? How about the mounting brackets? Assume the belt will need to be changed also....I assume it will work with my current power steering box?
Sorry for all the questions..just trying to see what my options are but just want to get it right the first time........
thanks
