This is a factory original rebuilt power steering pump with reservoir. This was sandblasted and painted with a high heat engine paint. Ready to install on your show car. Reservoir does not have any major dings/dents. The lip around the front of the housing where pump mounts is nice and straight as is the area where the cap mounts, so you are sure to get a good seal. Please look at all pictures as they are part of the description. Please do your own research as we do not offer refunds if it does not fit your vehicle.  Please look at all pics and ask any questions prior to bidding. There are plenty of pictures & we purchased the zoom, so please use it.  What you see in the pictures is what you get. 

There is no warranty on pumps unless installed by CJ Auto Parts, due to the fact that most failures are due to improper installation. Loose belt causes hard steering, over tightening the belt can cause premature failure to pump and bearing seal. Low or incorrect fluid can cause premature failure. Failure to flush old contaminated fluid can cause premature failure, etc. 

Failure to properly flush the system can lead to binding, poor returnabilty, leaking, hard steering, intermittent assist and noise. MUST use O.E. specified fluid Dextron ATF, not generic power steering fluid. Also, must not clean the steering system with common shop chemicals, which can damage power steering seals. If system was heavily contaminated, a power steering filter can simply be added to the return line.

 INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS: Power steering hoses/lines MUST be free flowing, no blockages or restrictions, and should not be any more than 10-15 years old (rubber does wear on the inside as well as the outside). System MUST be rid of any contaminants. If pump becomes aerated on startup, turn vehicle off until the foam subsides, Severely contaminated power steering systems should have an aftermarket filter installed in the return line for extra protection. Power steering pulley MUST be pressed on with proper installation tool, NOT hammered on, which will cause damage to the pump.

 CORE RETURN DETAILS…MUST READ: 
Price includes $200 core fee, which is refundable upon return of your good rebuildable core. The core return must include the pump & factory original reservoir/housing, same as what you are receiving. We will not accept core returns that do not include the housing or that have an aftermarket housing. Core must be returned within 30 days from date of receipt, no exceptions, and must be a good rebuildable core (meaning the internal components cannot be frozen, rotted through, heavily rusted, heavily pitted etc.). The reservoir (aka housing) must be of equal or better condition & must be rebuildable, meaning the area where the pump mounts must be free of dings/dents, and the area where the cap mounts must also be free of dings/dents. If you’re uncertain, you can always send us a pictures of your core first. Core must be the of the exact style power steering pump for the 1959-1960 Cadillac, same as the one you are receiving (again, if you are not sure what you have you can email us first).
