I have a 70 Supreme with AC and I removed all the brackets from over the valve covers to do them since they were leaking. Decided to remove and paint all the AC, Power Steering and Alternator brackets since they were grimey and little faded. I did the valve covers with little issue but seem to have fubarred the power steering pump reinstallation by using the wrong bolt and now its leaking bad. I removed the pump which has a integrated reservoir. Not sure if I need a new pump or the reservoir is damaged. Autozone sells pumps but not with a reservoir attached. Whats the most logical way to get out of dodge? Thanks for all your help in advance.

Have you identified where its leaking? If the pump reservoir was damaged I'd get a used pump. If not, then you may be able to replace the pump portion. I've not done this before, but have been told it's not difficult. If you decide to try this I'd encourage you to get a Chassis Service Manual diagram to work off of. You can purchase the books used on ebay. Or go to wildaboutcars.com and download the portion you need. You'll have to join, but its free and then you'd have access to it in future projects. John
