Power Steering Pump Advice

[BFH 429]

I'm looking for some ID and rebuild advice for my power steering pump. This unit came with the original 429 motor that I pulled from a '68 T-bird. I cannot find any identifying marks on the pump because it is pretty badly gummed up and has lost most paint, etc. A good steam cleaning may reveal something, but I'm figuring that Ford only made a couple different flavors of this pump and most probably perform the same. I did manage to find a PN on the bracket - and it is "AA-3A732-B". Some questions about this pump:

1) Can anyone ID what pump this is?
2) Will it properly power a SPA-T or V Saginaw Gear?
3) Is it worth it to rebuild these units - or better to just go aftermarket?
4) Who does a good job of rebuilding these?

Thanks,

Marc

Ford-Thompson power steering pump. Some had a tag on the center hose connection on back of the pump.

Unless you a concerned with originality, you are probably better off going to the GM Saginaw pump using an aftermarket accessory bracket.

Marc, Contact me. I have a pump already rebuilt or can likely rebuild yours. It is the smaller fill tube type, so will be the same basic pump. The pulley size might need to be changed.
