The PS pump began to drop oil from the input shaft so I had to send it back to the re-builder...I instructed him to ensure the output pressure was a real 900 PSI this time and to really run it in to make sure I do not have to send it back (this was the second time).

The power steering pump had a reservoir that says "Purilator" on it so perhaps that was the vendor that was used by Chrysler. Were the Packard reservoirs also made by this company?

The Chrysler manual stated that the pump output was 650 PSI max so it was either the leak introducing air into the system or the lower initial and max pressure.

Comparing the Chrysler and Packard manuals, it appears the pumps are identical except the manner in which the pumps were mounted to the engine.

On this website is a Power Steering Training Manual however it is only for the Bendix system. Is there also one available for the Monroe?

THANKS AGAIN!!!
