RE: power steering pumps

[SB <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

Both pumps have specific mounting brackets that are not interchangeable. 
 You should also note that the pulleys may be very different in 
diameter, and I don't think they are interchangeable between the 
two--but they might be.  Check the pulley's offset, as well, as I've had 
some that didn't quite line up with the crank pulley I was using, and 
this can chew up belts.  On big blocks, I much prefer to use a complete 
pulley and bracket setup off the same car.  Small blocks are much easier 
to mix and match these parts.

I prefer the Saginaw as they seem to leak less from the cap, and the 
dipstick is nice.  But I've had great luck with both types.  You can use 
either pump with your, or any, Mopar power steering box.
