Location: Northern Illinois		hi all, i plan on converting my 56 dodge crl to power steering, i have the correct gear box, just aquired a generator/eaton power steering pump from ebay. upon inspection of the parts it appears that it is a 1954 combo (listed as 55-56 on ebay) no tag on generator, the only is mark i can find is the pulley "pu 46" which part indicates 1954. i know i cant use the generator, are the pumps the same from 54 to 56? can i use this pump on my 56? thanks

Tony: I don't know if it would make a lot of difference but most (all?) 56 Dodges that I have seen with Power Steering used the Vickers pump (attached to the back of the 12V generator, driven by two "fan" belts).

I think 55 Dodges used the Eaton pump. Not sure why they switched or when.

Location: Alaska		Make sure the generator is 12 volt as in 54 they were 6 volt.

That and make sure that the drive end of the generator will mate up with the power steering pump (Eaton or Vickers)

Location: Northern Illinois		thanks dave and rolland for your input. dave your probably correct on the 56 dodges using the vickers pump. ive been looking at a lot of pictures of 56 dodge engines with power steering and havent seen one with an eaton. as for the generator, i may pull the 54 6 volt and my 56 12 volt apart to see if i can swap out the armature and drive plate. now to find a correct vickers pump.

For non-Generator/PS pump reasons, I had the Vickers PS pump off my 56 Dodge generator. As I was putting things back together, I remembered that I had previously purchased a 1402 147 rubber insolator/coupling bushing (shown above).
So I obviously decided to replace the existing insulator bushing with the new one.

As I pried the old bushing (it was bad) out of the back of the generator, I was surprised to see a metal reinforcement (a "sleeve"?) of some kind in the middle of the old bushing. I have not seen that part in any of the PS
diagrams but just now I was able to find a PN as "19-54-10 SLEEVE, Coupling 1404 026" (on an internet search). I found one (and only one) on ebay. I just removed and reused mine in the new 1402147 bushing

The 1402147 is out there:

Bushing (but no sleeve)
