Is this the same pump that was used with the 69 and later (saginaw type) steering sectors?
I have heard the 66-68 pumps do not have reliefe valves built in and will blow the seals in the steering sector.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thank You!

Power steering Pump
I have a pump from a 66 with the bendix power steering box.
Is this the same pump that was used with the 69 and later (saginaw type) steering sectors?

Does anyone know for sure?

Re: Power steering Pump
However, here, it refers specifically to a 1969 redesign of the PS pump, with NEW testing proceedures. One should assume I think that there were valid reasons why it was redesigned.... Likely not due to polution or some such reason...

I think its possible that the older pump will work. I suspect that the newer pumps are better. I did not like the thompson pumps due to the whine, and went with the early 80's pump. Brackets were available for my 240/300/4.9...
Older is not always better....

1965 F-100 240 Autolite 1101, Disk brake dual master upgraded, swapped over to C4 and powersteering. Bought by my Dad new in March 65'
Planned/considered upgrades:
Perhaps power brakes, 300 I6 motor and JUST maybe, AC!
