1955 860 steering pump output pressure

[justmoose]

The pump for my 1955 Ford 860 power steering assist is leaking like a sieve. Does anyone know what the output pressure of this unit is? It is the belt driven top mounted sump style pump. I have not had the chance to pull it for inspection yet but am looking for newer options to replace it with. Mounting a different style pump does not bother me but don't want to over pressure the rest of the steering components.

Thanks

Tim

Off the top of my head I’ll say 650-850 psi.

Okay thanks. I am thinking a more modern PS pump should work fine then.
