power steering pump
« on: May 04, 2020, 09:26:00 AM »
I have a 1969 GT500 A/C car that needs a power steering pump. I have two pumps, both without tags. On one, the nipple goes up and the other it goes straight out. I do have the correct pulley but with all the surface aging, I am not sure of what finish to take it back to. Two questions, if I may. Does the return nipple go straight out? And second, what finish/color (and shade/degree if black) is the pump pulley.

The correct 69 GT500 pump return nipple can be described as going out and angled down.  The pulley is best discribe as black in the semi gloss range of sheen.
