Correct Power Steering Pump
« on: July 22, 2008, 02:59:06 AM »
Hey Folks,

I'm finally to the point where I'm assembling my engine, and I've come across an issue with my PS pump. I bought my pump and pulley from a reputable source online. I'm questioning whether I got the correct pump because of the position of the return line. It is the '68 327/275 setup.  All of the research I've done, and the picture in the A.I.M. says the return line should come out and point down. This makes sense to me because the return line runs down underneath the engine stand and goes up to the pump.

My source says this is the correct one, but I don't see how I'm getting my return line up to the 11:00 position this nipple is in?



My source says this is the correct pump, but has offered to send me another type if I find out it's not correct. Thanks in advance for any help or verification. Brian

Brian -

Your source is wrong.  The power steering pump for your '68 should look like the one in the photo below...
