Pump It Down....EASY

While I'm waiting for some parts to get my engine back in, it was the perfect opportunity to do the "Pump It Down " modification to my power steering pump.

Already off the engine made it easier but still easy while in the car.

What pump is this one pictured? Mine on the 67 cuda I'd different.. Is mine a federal then? And it doesn't seem to have that valve piece on it, only in and out lines. I have a housing on the gear box that looks like there may be a valve in..?
