Has anyone tried this pump? The guy I talked to at Jegs said it should work but I'm unsure with using it on the LT1 with remote res.
Thank you in advance.

 

It can be made to work with a few new parts. I don't have access at this moment to the part numbers or manufacturers of pieces I used it I'll get them to you. In short it took a different bracket ($32), a different pulley (do you have serpentine belts or the v-belt/rib-belt setup?), some AN-6 adapters for the box and pump, a remote reservoir and a custom pressure hose (only $38 locally). To mount the reservoir I made the bracket out of 3/16" plate bolted to the driver's side head. I'd love to get pictures of the setup but I pulled the engine and trans last weekend getting ready for the replacement.

Wait, do you have an LT1 in the car or are you adapting this to a gen1 block?

 

I do have a serpentine belt. I have a remote reservoir mounted on the wheel well. I saw that someone did it by mounting the pump on the drivers side but I don't think I have the room with all the piping and stuff for the turbo/ intercooler.

 

If you've already got a reservoir mounted then don't worry about it. If you don't already have type ll ps pump on the car or are converting from the old Saginaw pump you'll need a bracket like the PSC MB05K one, cheap, well made and strong. That pump you're looking at already has a -6 AN outlet so you'll need a little hose barb fitting for a -10AN to hook the suction line to the reservoir. The pulley you'll have to research. I have the weird v-belt combo setup on my car so I'm using a v-belt pulley (can't help you on belt length either) but I do know the pump shaft is 0.66" and press-fit. For anyone who finds this info in a search using a v-belt like myself, with the stock crank pulley you'll need a gates XL 7355 belt or approx 36" long with a 6" pulley. Using the stock steering gearbox still? You'll need an adapter to hook up to the pressure line. The place that made my pressure line didn't have any of the metric o-ring fittings so had to go -6AN on both ends. I got mine from Speedwaymotors so that's the only part number I can give you (pn:6174808). It's a 18mm-1.5 IFM/-6AN adapter if that helps. That's all think I can help you with. Try it out and if the steering is too light you may need to switch to a 2gpm outlet restrictor like the afco 37130. Now I think that's everything I know.
