PowerSteering
I have been struggling with the powersteering on my 273 powered '65 Barracuda for about a year. The original gear had been leaking ever since I bought the car several years ago. So I decided to replace it in an attempt to have a clean garage floor. I ordered a replacement from Rock Auto. It wasn't the correct replacement but Rock Auto assured me it would fit. I struggled for days installing it to find out it was defective. After arguing with Rock Auto for a week, they sent the correct gear. Again struggling to install the gear, I was able to drive the car for a few days when the powersteering pump failed. The search was on for the pump. Searching Google I found Amazon, of all places, had a pump that looked like what I needed. I received it in less than a week. It looked like the right pump but my reservoir was too large and the pulley shaft too small for my pulley. After returning that pump, I found a place on eBay that has an advertisement picturing the exact pump I need. Their fittment chart showed it as the correct pump so I ordered it. Two weeks later I received a pump for a GM car. Of course GM pumps won't bolt on to a Mopar, without a lot of modifications. so I sent it back with a picture of the pump I needed. They assued me that they had the right pump and sent it out. Yesterday I received another GM pump. This pump is on its way back but I still need a pump. Is there anybody that has the correct pump?
