My first car 72 Scamp

New power steering pump put on. I’ve had one used one, two remanned, and this is first brand new one. Nothing but issues with these for years. Last time I changed it, I put on the March performance pulley as the steel one was bent. It had to be honed out to fit the shaft. Then pressed on. Well I didn’t have the right puller so I had the shop I use for my daily drivers pull one. Stripped the threads it was on so tight. Drill 3 holes. Tap. Pulled it off. Marred the pulley a bit. The guy felt pretty terrible because he knows my car and I’m particular. Had to hone it more to get on new pump. Pressed it on. I said don’t worry about it, it sits at the bottom of the bay. He wouldn’t let me pay him for the frustration and work he had to do. I’m not upset. Got it all back on and seems fine. Idled fine and no longer making a squalling noise. I couldn’t find my 5 year old receipt for the old remanned one so it went into the trash never to be seen again lol. And as you can see, sharpie and positioning in the bay, no one will know the difference.
