'69 383 power steering pump

[TylerCharger69]

Hello  everybody....quick question....I'm going to put a new power steering pump on my car.  It hasn't had one since I've owned it. I went to buy one   and there are two differences....one has a round reservoir...and one is an egg-shaped reservoir, and i wasn't sure which one the 383 used.....Or...does it even matter?    I put a new steering box on it already by the way...if it matters.  I need to know  so I'll know which bracketry to buy from Year One.

There is the older "Federal" sytle pump (round neck) then the newer "Saginaw" style (the odd shaped one) ...   either one can be used - I perfer the Saginaw pump  but that is my personal prefference...    as to what would be correct i believe the Frderal was used in 1969...    but i would wait for verification from someone else

Federal was a 68 & older item.

69's started with the Saganiaw type....

Mine is a 69 and is a Saginaw. I just went to the parts store and bought a remaned from across the counter. I think you might have even been able to get the reservoir with it also. Check with them on that.
