Tim,
I remember rebuilding many of PS pumps for my big old American cars... Don't
know if it's the same pump, but a quick check in my records shows:
Assembly
Note: All parts should be lightly lubricated with power steering fluid
during assembly.
1. Install the pump shaft oil seal using a 15/16 inch socket to drive it
into place. Lubricate the rubber lip with power steering fluid.
2. Lubricate the o-rings that go in the pump bore and install them.
3. Install the dowel pins.
4. Install the pump shaft.
*5. Install the pump ring. The arrow on the side should face the open end of
the pump bore and the smaller set of holes fit over the dowel pins.*
6. Install the pump vanes making sure the rounded edges face the pump ring.
7. Install the pressure plate making sure the spring groove is facing up.
8. Install the pressure plate spring.
9. Install the end plate. Force it down enough to install the retaining ring
and install the retaining ring.
10. Install the large o-ring around the pump body.
11. Install the stud and union seals. Make sure to match the old ones up
with the new ones since two different thickness' were used.
12. Place the reservoir in position and gently tap into place using the wood
block and hammer.
13. Install the flow control valve and spring.
14. Install the studs and union (make sure to replace the o-ring on the
union first!) and torque to 35 ft/lbs.
Hope this helps!
Brian

We need help with the power steering - we're not getting any power assist.
We rebuilt the pump today and found nothing internally that was obviously
wrong.
If you've rebuilt a Saginaw P/S pump, does the arrow on the outside of the
eccentric casing go toward the rear (hose side) or the front (pulley side)
of the pump housing? Does the arrow correspond to the rotation direction
or
does it have some other meaning? We installed the arrow so that it was on
the rear of the pump casing.
