power steering leak

**sjtdrum** · 07-12-2002, 10:15 AM

'65 289 coupe: I've got power steering fluid leaking from the power steering pump area. Is it possible to rebuild and replace the seals in the pump or do I need to buy a new pump? In that case, is it worth it to consider converting to manual steering instead of spending the money on a new pump??

That looks like what I need. I wonder how to determine if I've got a Ford pump of an Eaton pump???

My Ford pump is the one on the right in this pic.I used the one that came stock on the 302 in my 68 Galaxie on my 460.Just mocked up new brackets,I believe it says Ford on the pump.

Easy to do. Mine leaked like mad, and now it is bone dry. You can see the Eaton style pump in this pic:
