Since there has been a lot of buzz recently about the quick ratio or Grand Cherokee box conversion's I thought this might help.
My local Chevy parts guy found the part number of the pump spring needed to up the pressure form the early boxes, its PN 5688037, cost $5.94.
Napa sells a power steering pump seal kit, has all the o rings and a shaft seal, $21.29 list $15.69 net. If you just want to change the shaft seal, try a Chicago Rawhide CR7474, should be about $6.75. The steering coupler disc (AKA rag joint) kit is the 'Help!' brand, I've seen them at Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Ect, PN 31000, should be about 10 bucks, it has the bolts, pins and new joint, but you'll still need the box end of the joint to mate to the steering shaft, it depends on the diameter of your boxes input shaft.
