Any local auto parts store...be sure to order it WITH the reservoir. Comes both ways.
You'll have to swap your pulley and brackets on to the replacement.

Ok cool thank you.

Changing the pulley can be tricky to do, but many parts stores will do it for free. Also make sure that you get the correct pump, they come with threaded or press-fit shafts.

For the benefit of those who have never done it (me!), can you explain the procedure? I'm getting a "groaning" from mine lately and it may be on the project list for next spring. I'd like to get all the info ahead of time so I know what I'm up against. Also...(no laughing please!) is there any sort of bleeding that has to be done when you crack those lines loose like a master cylinder? Thanks!

My best advice would be to let the parts store change the pulley. It's quick, easy and free. ;) The pulley is usually stuck like the dickens, and can be easily damaged if you're not careful with the puller. To be honest with you, I have never even tried after I ruined my first one.

You bleed the system by filling the reservoir, and with the car on jacks you turn the wheels from stop to stop several times (15-20 or so). Keep the cap on while turning the wheels, but check the fluid now and then to make sure you don't run dry. Let the car down on the ground, start the engine and turn the wheels several times again, and you should be done.

Cool! I appreciate the info! It's always better to know about the potential pitfalls before you get in a bind. That's one of the greatest things about a forum like this...the ability to draw on everyone else's experiences to shorten your own learning curve. Simply priceless!

I have heard that you also have to match the alve in them. I got one and my steering locks hard left, can't turn it at all. I tried to bleed the system but still locked hard left. I uess it could be a bad pump.

George don't let that cap go, I will bet the new one has the later style plastic cap. The metal one with the 2 ears are hard to find.

From the photo it appears your distributor is at the wrong end of the engine :D :D
