| Post subject: | Power Steering Pump interchange? |
I'm installing a Vintage Air A/C unit in my '64 Valiant, and have had to modify the brackets from a '79 Aspen to mount the Sanden style compressor. To minimize further bracket mods, I'd like to use the tear drop-shaped Aspen P/S pump in place of the original round unit on the Valiant. Everything will physically fit, but I'd like some reassurance that there will be no functional problems. The Aspen pump has a larger pulley, so the belt needs to be replaced. What about pressure valves, etc. in the box? lancer_41@excite.com |

I have used these later pumps on the early cars with no ill effects, the biggest problem was the different size return hose, an adaptor fixed that. DD |

Sounds like this way of mounting the Vintage Air Sanden style compressor is working out well for you. Another possibility is to use the mounting bracket for an air pump on a later SL6. That is what I did. It required some modification but also worked out very well. You can see it to some extent in the engine bay picture in the installation section of my EFI article. <A HREF="http://slantsix.org/articles/dibiase_ef ... nv3.htm</A> Bob D BBobbias@aol.com |

Some of the later pumps also have metric threads instead SAE NPT. The pump on a '80 Mirada comes to mind... klesteb@aol.com |
