This company did my pump and converted my original steering box to a quick ratio unit.

I'm the culprit .

Nice response from both dc2x4drvr , and 66 - 3X2 442 . I was using Ron's
experience to get me to the best place .
I'm leaning towards the powersteering.com company in Springfield MO.
And , initially , this is NOT a price question . The above company is the most expensive , and takes the longest .

My next question is this . Since my 47 YR. Old pump is bad . Do I benefit from rebuilding the steering box ? Quick Ratio ? New Hoses ? New Rag Joint ? My entire project has now become a lesson in submission to the dreaded MAW's . I'm just below 60 K on the fun meter ( hypothetically ) and my budget tolerance is wearing thin ..
So ultimately , how far beyond the P.S. Pump should I take this ??
Thanks , Jim Tuma

Yup, I sent the gear and pump to Chip, never a problem and great phone tech, and he's a strong Olds guy..
