I'm in the process of cleaning up the engine bay of my old Chevy, and I'm adding a serpentine setup instead of ye ol' v-belts.
I have a couple of whiteblock steering pumps laying around but I can't really find any good information about them.
The old saginaw pump has a flow rate of about 3 gallon/minute, and about 1300 psi pressure.
The Volvo pump should put out a little less pressure (which is fine), but I'm not sure about the volume.
If it has too little displacement the steering will be 'catchy' I'm afraid.
Ideally I would/could fit a GM type II steering pump, but I like to use Volvo parts cause they're everywhere here and way cheaper than getting everything from the US.
