MustangDude Journeyman Posts: 33 From: Wilmington, OH Registered: Aug 2002	posted 08-24-2002 09:55 AM I've got a '65 with a 289 and it's got a power steering pump with an angled shaft where the dipstick goes in. I've seen a lot of other 289's where that shaft isn't angled. I know there are 2 power steering pumps available for that engine - the Eaton and the Ford pump. Is that what the difference is? Does it matter which one I replace it with? IP: Logged

It sounds like you have a Ford pump for use with A/C. The catalog shows 2 Ford pumps, a slanted neck for use with air and a straight neck for no air. Here is some info from Virgina Classic Mustangs on-line Catalog http://catalogs.google.com/catalogs?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&issue=8747&catpage=169 ------------------ Ronnie 69 mach1 351W-4V 70 Torino GT 351C-4v with a "shaker" Mustangs and More Member #23 IP: Logged
MustangDude Journeyman Posts: 33 From: Wilmington, OH Registered: Aug 2002	posted 08-24-2002 11:22 AM Thanks for the info! The car actually doesn't have A/C, but I think this is the final proof I needed to say that it did at one point. I guess someone removed the A/C before I bought it it 10 years ago . It had a center console that didn't go all the way up to the dash and it also has the 2 holes in the firewall where the A/C lines would go. I guess I need to look at either adding A/C back in ($$$) or converting to a total non A/C setup. IP: Logged
