I have a 1969 chevelle with a factory gear box that needs rebuilding. I am running saginow(spelling?) pump with a factory pulley on it. The other pulleys alt,water pump and crank are aftermarket pulleys. And yes there is a alignment problem with the pump pulley not being in correct alignment with the others. I dont care whats saved or whats replaced I just want a nice clean look. Not knowing what aftermarket pulleys I have makes finding a pump pulley difficult. Question I have is WHAT IS A GOOD PUMP TO USE THE ONE I HAVE AND JUST GO WITH ALL NEW PULLEYS OR IS THERE A BETTER PUMP SETUP THAT IS MORE STREAMLINED( SHORT HOSES, SIMPLE BRACKETS) THAT YOU WOULD SUGGEST.   THANKS

That'd be saginaw.

There's nothing wrong with your factory power steering pump, I'd rebuild it or get a replacement.

On the pulley question, someone in the aftermarket should have a dress up pulley set that includes the power steering pulley.
