Which power steering pump?

Anybody know which power steering pump was most common in the 1966 Plymouth Satellite? Was it a Chrysler or Saginaw?

What's the easiest way to tell? One guy I talked to at the parts store said it should say right on the unit, but I'm not seeing anything. The cap on my pump does have a "S" on the top, is all I see.

Will probably have to drive car to parts store and have them compare pics of the unit, but thought I'd give a try here to at least see which was most common.

Thank you

What brand name is the pot belly one?

Went down to parts store quite a bit after posting above. Guy there said it's a Thompson power steering pump. Don't know where that name came from as the other 2 parts stores I called the day before said it either had a Chrysler or Saginaw.

None of the stores have what I need!

Time to do some more searching, I guess.

You need this one and I found a rebuilt unit at O'Reillys.http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...2869&ppt=C0031

That pump you linked to says it's for a 1968 Dodge Dart 270
V8 - 5.2L vin F 318ci - GAS.

As positive as your post sounds about that being the one I need, I have to ask, what makes you sure about the one you posted being the one I need?

When I enter my vehicles info, this is the one that comes up, http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...2869&ppt=C0031

Neither of those pumps have my engine size, 5.9L, 361ci, even listed under the compatibility section. The part number you linked to is, Part # 20-6115. The one listed for my engine is Part # : 20-6074

Now, as confused as ever, but at least have another place to check at tomorrow. Forgot about O'Reilly's. They even have a new store being built that is even closer than the other local one listed on their site.

Same pump. 60's through late 60's used the potbelly pump. I only cheated and used the easy link for my car.

I don't think I remember seeing if that pump you linked to had the Thompson pump or not though.

The one I linked to does have a Thompson pump as does the one on my car.

Appreciate the help very much!!
