Re: Power Steering Issue

Hi Scott
That's the funny thing, pump shaft doesnt appear to have locked up even when trying to undoo the pulley, the bolt & shaft would turn freely inside the pulley. Who knows. Looks like i'll be ordering a rebuilt pump and new pulley. Hopefully they are still available

Pertronix to suit 64

Hi
I've had a search but cant find what I need.

Can anyone tell me the correct part no for a Pertronix II module to suit the 64 390 engine.
I dont need the coil or leads just the module that fits in the dizzy.

I would prefer to use the Pertronix 2 module as that's whats on the car now.

Cheers Dave
