Power steering pump question

This pump is I believe, from a 70 something F-150. It has a miniscule leak at the fitting where it enters the body.Just enough to be messy in the inner fender. I found that the 15/16 nut was not ROCK TIGHT when I checked it. I have never been inside one of these. Is there likely some other issue? Some sort of intenal seal? Better to send out for a rebuild? Replace with a new one? I have a couple of the plastic bodied, smaller round ones that i believe replaced this model, and prolly the bracketry. Thanks

You can get a canister seal kit for that pump, it consists of a big O-ring for the front and a rubber washer that goes between the pump body and the canister on the rear.

Pumps aren't all that bad on the wallet, I'd just replace it if I were you.

I've never heard of those canister seal kits, but if they work, why not?

That is just like the pump i put on my 48F1. I bought it and the brackets at a ford swap meet in columbus last year. Paid $20.00 for everything. The person i bought it from said it was from a 68 mustang. It works fine. You can buy new ones at NAPA. I have the part number somewhere if you need it.

Rebuild/seal kit 17$

Rebuilt pump 62$

I figured after pumping hot oil for 35 years,(1972) the old pump had earned it's retirement.

But, does the pump come with the canister? A lot of them don't.

When I was throwing new gear on my 302, my PS pump came complete.

Anyone remember my stories of backwards steering with my PS box? Teehee.

OK, so I'm more used to dealing with heavy and medium duty trucks. On them, you seldom get the canister with a pump. The only automobiles that I work on are my own.

Well, I assume it will be a com;plete pump. I can't imagine them selling just the "guts" as a rebuilt pump. I'll find out this a.m.

Gosh! How selfish!

But in all seriousness, that makes sense that beefier trucks/engines would only come with the internal bits, instead of the whole deal.

Ford Power Steering Pump Seal Kits

C2SZ-3B584-A .. Use with Eaton Pump. All 1953/65 (Reservoir bolts to top of pump)

D1AZ-3B584-A .. Use with Ford Pump. All 1965/77 (Reservoir integral with pump)

E1AZ-3B584-A .. Use with Ford Pump. All 1978/89 (Reservoir integral with pump)

All refers to both cars & trucks.

Note: These kits are for Ford pumps, not Saginaw pumps.

Rebuilt pumps usually come with the reservoir (cannister).

Parts houses can cross these Ford numbers over to the brand they sell.
