1969 power steering pumps

[Patrick Grove]

Power steering pump recommended?
Anyone have a certain manufacturer/supplier for a new power steering pump & a pulley on a 1969 mustang 351 windsor with a/c that they would recommend? Just thought I'd ask before pulling the trigger at CJ Pony, Kentucky Mustang, Summit, or whoever. They all are roughly the same price.
I am interested in whatever is the best quality wise.

Talk to Dan at Chockstang. Not sure if he sells outright, or would want your core back.

Lares. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/LSC-12101 or https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lsc-12092 based on where the lines connect.

For the pulley, I'd just grab a used OEM one. I would send you mine, but it's a bit warped. All my aftermaket pulleys came as kits with multiple pulleys and brackets.

Check on RockAuto.
If you need to change the pulley, you'll need a special puller/installer tool. A reasonable one can be bought at Harbor Freight for little over 20 bucks. Just make sure to follow instructions.
Here's a couple of pics of how I set up to do mine. This of course is on a 71/73 Ford Thompson pump. In this pic, I was for installing the pulley.

Summit Performance is where I got a new Cardone one with Desi our # 96-7054

Thank you all for the help and advice. This one looks to be original and is leaking in front of the pump where the reservoir meets the pump housing. Has the factory tag on the pressure line fitting. I'll be sure

If it's just a leak around the body "O" ring at the front, then a seal kit will probably fix the issue. However, if there is any distortion or damage, then sealing it might be a problem. When I do them, I add a little of "The Right Stuff" gasket sealer around the lip. It seems to add a little extra sealing and it can't hurt anything......... other than the wallet!!
If the leak is at the front shaft seal, then a rebuild is necessary.
Can you post a pic of your pump?

Thanks for the sound advice on the rebuild. I might get a rebuild kit to have a pump on hand, but plan on getting a new one for this car. I have two 69's and this the most expensive part for the year. knock on wood. Thanks again
