Will buy entire power steering pump assembly, if needed. For my '60 Valiant Slant Six. Hope this is the correct forum.

I'm a sick as you are, Mopal!

Good point. The research tells they made this part 58 - 68. I thought there'd be more out there. Wrong.

I checked ebay, mostly see are single groove or GM. I got a GM pulley and found the bore to be a tiny bit too large. Wou;d heatimg it to red hot and beating it work? Looking at creating a new bushing for the GM piece. yikes yes

yikes

yes

It's a double groove unit, I'd post a pic but can't get computer to interface right now. If you have the piece and it is attached to pump, I'll buy the whole unit as one, pump working or not. Of course I pay shipping plus cost.

Part # 1826056. Double groove 5 3/4" unit and they were manufactured from '58 to '68. Seems like they don't exist and trying to find the right bore size and right facing characteristics is hitting dead end after dead end. So, how much would a 3D machined one cost? More or less. I'd post a...

The flanges were damaged when improperly removed (by the shop) and it set up a vibration that promptly ruined the front bearing seal on the new power steering pump (a Corone unit with a new bracket set up). The part number is 1823056. After hours and hours of searching online, pestering...

Because of this Forum, I located a new pressure return hose from O'Reilley's Auto-parts for a sawbuck. It is installed and fits perfectly. The leak near the brake master cylinder has been repaired. THANK YOU! I could not do it without y'all.

I will be downloading these photos and schematics, as well.

Thank you, everyone, for your excellent knowledge and experience. First, I'm going to print out that wiring schematic. Second, I'm going to buy a service manual. As to the root cause of what caused the wires to overheat and melt the insulation, Jerry, the mechanic, believes it to be a thin...
