Well, with Wes' help, I was finally able to locate the parts needed to finish converting my p/s pump from active to standard. In addition to the pump, I had to swap all the mounting brackets as well as the reservoir and fill hose. I had to use the 4 notch belt because of the smaller pulley on the standard pump. I maintained the active crank and fan pulleys just by using 4 of the 7 grooves on them. A side benefit is a smaller belt/pulley with less parasitic loss as well as about a 20 lb weight savings. I replaced the belts with new OEMs and changed the oil while I was at it. Next up- transmission flush/filter/cooler. Thanks Wes. And thanks to Fred for pointing me to Wes. Filnally I can sell my 97 Oldsmobile Aurora. Do I hear $3750?
