Ford or Eaton pump?
 
Is there a quick and easy way to determine which type of power steering pump I have on my 64 1/2 Mustang? It has the original 289 V-8.

It's either cast iron or aluminum.

I believe the Eaton WP was aluminum. Replacements are available; about $70. aluminum, $50. cast iron.

Buzzbee,
The Eaton pump's reservoir is seperate from the pulley assy. and the Ford's is about the diameter of the pulley and mounted right behind it.
I think 5.0 is thinking water pumps.

5.0 was thinking waterpumps because my message before I edited it didn't specify power steering pump. My mistake! Sorry 5.0

That was what I was thinking, but then I thought I had just misread it the first time. BTW, I don't have PS, so don't have a clue.
