69GT 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2020 Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've been on this forum. It's about time for me to replace my power steering pump, as it has started to leak. I did a randalls rack conversion a long time ago but I kept the original power steering pump. I tried going onto his website but it looks like it no longer exists? Did he go out of business? If he's no longer around does anyone know how to adapt a newer pump to work with his rack and pinion? Thanks, Sean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MN69Grande 203 Report post Posted April 9, 2020 I dont know what pumps he used. But I would take it out, clean it, and look for any stamping with a Part number. I believe Randall's racks were gm parts. So if can find a part number u can have a parts store look it up in their reference guide. Most likely they can get you a new pump pretty cheap. I think most the main components in that kit were over the counter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerC 136 Report post Posted April 9, 2020 I'm pretty sure Randall's Racks used 80s GM J car (cavalier, J2000) components. I have a magazine article saved somewhere but I don't recall where. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69GT 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2020 I was able to find an article with a picture of an old pump and one of his pumps side by side. I am pretty sure its a GM pump, but it isn't detailed enough to show a part number. It also looks like he had some sort of custom mounting hardware for it, so I don't think it would be a direct bolt on if I was able to identify the pump.

Trinitys 134 Report post Posted April 12, 2020 Randell used a GM type 2 or also known as a TC pump. Pretty common out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Sean I think any pump would work. Why not just replace your stock pump with another stock pump? you could go with a GM type 2 either with tank on the pump or one that’s remote mounted but then your messing with brackets, adapting hoses etc. here’s a picture of a remote mounted tank GM type 2 on my buddy f100 1 PRADO reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRADO 10 Report post Posted April 5, 2022 I know this post is 2yrs old but trinity what set up is your buddies f100 for the power steering set up? I want to go the same route for my 351w. I have a March serpentine belt set up already but want to use the gm type 2 pump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
