This is actually my first time posting! I have a 1973 dart sport and my power steering pump reservoir cracked. I’ve been unable to find a new pump that matches. Saginaw seems to have redesigned the reservoir shape and it will not fit in my old style brackets. So I am either looking for an old style pump (don’t let websites fool you the picture matches and I get a different pump style) or better yet looking for a link or someone selling the brackets that fit the newer style pump! The first photo is the pump I keep receiving that I would like brackets for the second picture is my old style oval fill pump and my brackets that hug it just enough no other pump will fit! Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I’m a 32 year old female who’s been driving the car I bought at 16 around the entire country! 26 states in 5 months sleeping in it! I have a wrist issue and have been dealing with manual steering for too long!

Be aware that Chrysler has up to three vendors in that era, and I think the brackets are different for each

There's probably someone here with a five gallon bucket full of what you need
 
This was very helpful! I was very worried about receiving the same newer shaped pump. Especially since this posting is for a replacement Saginaw. I called Lares directly though and they promise I will be receiving a “coke bottle” top on my reservoir! I’m still going to be checking this forum and also keeping you posted if that’s true or not! I call the new design the “half avocado” and if I open the box and it looks like that I might rip out all my hair! Haha

Here’s an couple adventure photos with my car. We’re on mile 13,000 on this trip. So I can’t be super upset if a bad power steering pump and TWO voltage regulators are the only issues I’ve had ‍♀️
