Help me ID my PS Pump?
In case anyone was biting their nails waiting for the gripping resolution to this, I got the car back. I got a new pump, pulled and pressed the pulley onto it, put in a long bolt with a spacer, and wrestled it all in.
But it all might have been for nothing -- I also got a new pressure hose, and when I pulled the old one, it seems the guy who put in my engine didn't put the o-ring on the old pressure hose-to-pump fitting. I find it very odd that Mopar didn't just do a regular flare fitting there (if flare is good for the pressure of brake fluid and so many other things, why not for power steering?).
I haven't filled and started it yet -- I have to bring some sheets of cardboard home today to protect my garage floor if it all goes bad. Which gives me a day to obsess whether I put that o-ring in correctly. Pardon the terrible artwork, but does this look right?
