Have one on my 57 that's in paint prison now, but consider what type motor mounts you have. Different brackets available for your setup. Also think about what hoses you want to use (rubber or AN type). Some of the type II pumps have diff. fittings. Reservoir can mount almost anywhere. Also consider short or long WP, and pulleys on your crank. Pretty easy installation if you have the right parts. :anim_25:

 

Type II pump with Alan Grove bracket and pulley.
Rebuilt 1987 Sunbird power steering pumps are still available at automotive parts stores.

The 1987 Pontiac Sunbird pump is to be used with a hose and a remote reservoir canister.

Thanks, I didn't know they were that readily available ... :tu

I have one that came with my accessory drive system.

 

Thanks for the insight. I am glad that that I can find them in my local parts store. Any advice on where to look for brackets and the pulley? I have an engine with a front mounts and short water pump. Thanks.

 

Why would a pump with an integral reservoir interfere with a fan shroud? I don't think it will unless the extra pulley is too far forward. If that's the case, the type II will likely have the same problem. You might have this type of problem with a radiator in the V8 location, along with a long water pump setup.

You usually don't see type II pumps with v-belt systems. That's because they came on cars with serpentine systems. So you see them on late model serpentine setups and on aftermarket serpentine setups. Not that it couldn't be done, but finding parts to do it may be a problem.

If you have a clearance problem, maybe you need to move the radiator forward. Or maybe the engine is too far forward.

 

If you have the metal Danchuk shroud I don't think there will be an interference problem with a conventional Saginaw PS pump. A customer recently installed one with his shroud and had no issues.

Did Danchuk tell you specifically there would be a problem?

 

Japapeno, Danchuk did state it would have to be cut; See instructions in attached link;

The Danchuk instructions say the trimming is for pulley clearance.

A type II pump still has a pulley in the same location as the old school pump - so they both are going to have the same problem.

The solution to this would be to move the radiator from behind the radiator support to in front of it (6 cylinder location).

 

I think the mods are needed with a short WP and front mount pump brackets, with the PS pump belt on the third row (outermost) crank pulley. In this application the pump pulley is fairly shallow, i.e., the pulley groove is farther away from the engine.

If you have a long WP and the PS pump is using the first groove (innermost) crank pulley, the pump pulley is more backspaced and therefore may not interfere with the shroud.

Again, I have not done this install myself, this is feedback from one customer. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has installed the shroud with power steering.
