  • 55 president power steering pump matchup

    I have a 55 president coupe and am going back to a 63 - 259 engine. My problem is that the power steering bracket I have does not match the power steering pump. The bracket is looking for a side mount and the pump is looking for a rear mount. Anyone out there familiar with this issue?
    Thanks,
    John

    If you are running the Saginaw steering Gear Power steering ('55 Type) you will need to use the '55 Pump to match the different hose size, so you will have to buy the '55 mounting bracket that mounts on special stud type head bolts on the head, because the '63 Bendix System used an Eaton Pump and Bracket that is completely different and mounts on the water manifold.

        I just sent the bracket you need to Australia on last Friday, and was lucky I had it I have 3 of the pumps and only one had the bracket it is a heavy cast type, good luck...Bob
