Thanks man! Yeah I think I’m gonna go that route once I finalize what I’m doing with the rear wheels and tires.

I just got done with my rear end swap and got Espo 6 springs with stock height. I have 15s on the back and I’m kind of wishing I had gotten the +1 inch curve but was so afraid of having a giant rake. I’m very pleased with the quality. Traction is great. Ride well. Just needed some scuffing and...

Will have to do that too! I like just a little rake. Never been big on way jacked up with tires sticking out. Partly cuz I wasn’t alive when that was a thing lol

Your pics were why I decided to go with the stock height. If the back doesn’t seem high enough I can lower my front end like you did. Appreciate the input in helping me decide.

I got 6 leafs, stock height, u bolts, shackles, bushings, bolts, for like $410 shipped from PA to MO. Looking forward to seeing them.

i need to! Just finished the front end last spring so yeah I need to adjust it once this rear is in and get it how I want.

These are original 5 leaf with air shocks. Thanks for all the input on this thread and others. Contacting Espo and going stock height and 6 leaf. I think it’ll give it a little more lift and even after settling will be better than these without getting way jacked up out back

Wow! That looks like a setup! Might have to go that route.

Are there big differences in power steering fluid?

This is what I’ve got.

72 Scamp with a 318 is what I’ve got.

I have replaced power steering pumps on my car multiple times. I'm on my 3rd or maybe 4th pump. Granted, this is during a 15 year period with like 8K miles, but it's just one of those thorns in the flesh. They always seem to end up leaking. It's a federal pump. I've used recycled off a running...

I'm not sure if they are the same or not. But it shows a different part number on the catalogs.

It's a 72 Scamp. I didn't want to spend $400 on a box if I could help it. I'd be fine buying a used one and rebuilding it cuz I already have the rebuild kit. $400 seems like a lot but I guess I need one lol

For sure. And the local part stores are saying they can’t get them. Shows online but when you order unavailable

I couldn't download it for some reason and can't find my paper copy for some reason. I did try the bigger hammer method. Only to find out the worm gear was broken. So now I go shopping.thanks guys.

Wanting to rebuild my steering gear box and can't get these ends off. I tried the hammer and punch and it didn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

This thread saved the day and saved one confused guy!

Got it in town this weekend. Put it on only to find that it magnified a leak on the valve where it hooks up. Ordered the O ring kit from O Reilly after the ones in my garage didn't seal it. But the hose itself had no leaks and looks great. Thanks for that!

Looks like it will work. Ordered from Summit and will post pics when it comes! Thanks guys

Oh ok that is some extra info! Yes, pics always help. Just want to make sure before I pull the trigger on anything.

I have a 72 Scamp, 318, with a Federal/Chrysler pump. Hose is leaking and I cannot find one that matches my car to save my life. I'm starting to wonder if maybe I've been running the wrong hose this whole time because it looks way different but seems to fit? But I've also had power steering...

Doesn't chew belts, but squeals at 2K RPM so I can't stand to drive it!

I picked up a set up from a 73 Duster w/out a/c yesterday. Had a Saginaw pump. Lined up on that car. Got it all home and put it on my Scamp last night. The water pump and crank pullies lined up but the power steering would not? I put on the Federal set up that I grinded down and it lined up. Go...

Yes, I eliminated the a/c.

I have tinkered and grinded and tried new pumps and pulleys and brackets, etc on my 1972 Scamp with a 318 and I CANNOT get the power steering pulley lined up with the crank or water pump. The crank, water pump, and alternator are all in line. I currently have a Federal pump on and have ground...

Looks like all big block and Saginaw stuff

Thanks for the info guys. Went with a Federal from Napa and I just got done painting it. Waiting on the black pulley from March performance.

Ok cool. We will see what ends up happening.

Hi Sedanman, thanks for the offer but I planned on going with a new pump so I can have a warranty. Still needing a pulley if you have one of those...
