Title: 69 Camaro power steering pump repop v original
Post by: VINCE Z28 on January 12, 2019, 12:28:40 AM

I'm changing over to power steering on my 69 camaro and was thinking of using a repop pump. Has any of you guys heard if they are any good?

Wasnt aware they're being reproduced, Vince - do you know who makes them? They're remanufactured in volume by A1 Cardone (possibly others too) and available with the matching reservoir; you may be able to find one at your local auto parts supplier - just need to look out for the correct bend/orientation on the return line tube, and be aware that the pressure fitting is usually female on rebuilt units.

I bought the complete power steering conversion kit from Heartbeat a couple years ago to convert my Z.  Complete with the correct casting pitman arm, all the hoses, clips, new box, deep groove pulley,  etc...   Wife did not like driving it with manual steer.  Fit, form and function are all perfect and for my purposes it looks factory and does the job.   Don't know who actually makes it.  I'm not concerned with that.  It's just on the car until my wife no longer enjoys driving it, then it's coming off and going back to the way the car came equipped when I restore it.
