The power steering pump is leaking and want to replace it but cant find one that look exactly like the one I have. was wondering if this pump is the original one for the car?

    I have been looking at a power rack and pinion steering rig from Flaming River for my 1970 Elkie for some time now, but the price they want for what appears to be a standard rack and a fabricated mount is just ridiculous.

  8. LT1/LS1/EFI Tech
