Re: IML: Leaky Power Steering Pump



The pump changed in midyear 60. The 59 & early 60 are smaller then the one
used thereafter through 68. I believe the filler neck on the early pump is
narrower & the cap has a dipstick attached.

I believe that '59 through '68 are the same, except that the cap on the
resevoir is different after around '63. Although I would recommend keeping
the old pump, and possibly rebuilding it yourself as a spare, I don't see
the benefit of not buying a new one. Mine came without the resevoir, but it
was very easy to switch that from the old pump. The new seal is included in
the package with the new pump. This was a new pump, not a rebuilt one, and
I think it cost around $65.

The saga of the leaking power steering pump continues.

I have been researching "stuff" on the site and was wondering if anyone
knew what the "part number" is for a power steering pump seal kit? Rather
than buying a new power steering pump & reservoir (site indicates autozone
has 'em), I was going to go the route of new seals because I think the
pump is fine it is just the seals that are causing the leak.

I can't seem to find the right part number at NAPA which is were some of
the folks on the list said they found this part. I have also seen posts
that said that the kit can be gotten from Chrysler but that post was more
than ten years old so I don't know if it still applies or not. Any help
y'all can provide would be appreciated.

Also, if I am reading the posts correctly, the 1960 through 1968 power
steering pumps were the same even though the engine size increased. Is
that right?

Thanks everyone!
