^ Ford/Thompson "pencil neck" P/S pump, has a steel reservoir. The P/S Pressure Hose threads onto the pump.
ALL 1967/77 FoMoCo vehicles except 1972/77 Passenger Cars with Hydro-Boost & 1975/77 Econolines (both use the Saginaw P/S pump).

Denny,
The pulley size on the pump is a function of the pulley size on the crankshaft. Some of the earlier setups were fairly compact and had a small crank and pump pulley. In the mid 70’s, the A/C became fairly common and the suspension designs allowed more room under the hood. The crank pulleys got larger to accommodate the additional accessories and the P/S pulley grew also to keep the pump speed at a reasonable level. Do you know what your crank pulley originally came from? The pump you have pictured appears to have the smaller pulley.

I don't think the crank pulley and the PS pulley are the same diameter, I think he's saying there are two sizes of each and you need to use small/small or large/large. The word "match" may be confusing me.
