Description

NEW! Finally a simple bolt-on Saginaw power steering pump kit for your full size Ford 351M/400. This new kit includes everything you need with the exception of the belt due to variation in pulley sizes found on the stock motors. As pictured we include a new (not rebuilt) Saginaw/Delphi steering pump, power steering pressure hose, pump pulley, pump bracket, pump bracket brace, adjustment link and hardware. This kit works with or without A/C. Brand new Heavy Duty Delphi pump Do you really want to settle for a twenty-five year old rebuilt Saginaw pump? We hate defects. You hate defects. So, why buy used stuff when you can have new? Our heavy duty Delphi pumps put out more pressure and pump more GPM (gallons per minute) than the factory units and they have a large reservoir for added fluid capacity.
We use plated reservoirs as a standard feature. Not only do they look better but the plating adds superior corrosion resistance.
We sold rebuilt pumps for many years. We pulled our hair out trying to find a good source for rebuilt pumps. We used practically everyone in the business. No matter where we went, it was always the same - about one in ten didn't work right. With the volume of time and money spent on returns, this was unacceptable. Defects, even when handled correctly, do not reflect well for our customer service standards. For a long time, rebuilts were our only option. A few years ago, we received the opportunity to provide brand new pumps. We jumped on board wholeheartedly and have not looked back since. The pumps you see here are built exclusively for WILD HORSES. We are convinced you will not find better anywhere in the market place.
All of WH's Delphi pumps use a .750 shaft with a press fit pulley. For the best possible performance, WILD HORSES recommends using power steering fluid in all of our steering components.

This kit is designed for use on 78-79 Broncos and 77-79 F-150 4x4 with 351M/400M with or without A/C.

Worked as advertised.

Dec 30, 2021 | By Mick Dalton

The hose provided worked perfectly on my 77 Ford F150 Ranger XLT with a 351M . I read some of these saginaw pump upgrades require an extra fitting for the pressure hose at the back of the pump. Not this kit - it works perfectly and gives you everything you need except the return hose and the belt. I bought the return hose that was stock on my truck and it married up without difficulty to the new saginaw pump. Installation was easy. Some of the reviews indicate the upper bracket hole needs some modification but I think the manufacturer is now aware of this because the bracket I received was already modified. So there was no extra work. The pulley comes attached to the pump and does not need to be removed to attach the bracket. The #17555 hose they recommend from AutoZone was the right one. So yea, the whole thing was 2 thumbs up. Plus it is MUCH quieter and I can turn my 33x12.5x15's with with 1 finger on the wheel when the truck is in 'park' . I am very pleased. Its a no brainer upgrade compared to the old pump which I always thought was a poor design. My truck has headers and the pressure line off the original "oil can" pump was way too close to the header and most likely heated the fluid unnecessarily. This kit solved that issue completely.

nice kit

Nov 22, 2021 | By Jerry

I purchased the kit for my 1978 Bronco to try to get rid of an old noisy original pump that leaked . It all hooked up and works good, not whining like the old one would off and on. I think the instructions could have been a lot more detailed. Especially which bolts went where. The pulley was for a 3/8" belt but the P.S. belt was a 1/2" so it rode very high in the pulley. seems to work ok though. Would have liked a return line included but overall a good kit and I think it was a good upgrade.

Great upgrade

After installing several "OEM" rebuilt p/s pumps I had enough. This Delphi upgrade has worked out great in my 79 Bronco. Kudos to Wild Horses.

On but not ready to drive yet

Oct 26, 2020 | By Bill

The bolt that goes into the head is not long enough for my liking. Follow the instructions to mount pump to the bracket before mounting to the engine. The brace going to the water pump needed almost an inch spacer to line up with the pump bracket (I'm using an edelbrock water pump) and the holes were not far enough apart. Had to elongate the holes.

90% everything you need to have a solid power steering

I purchased this kit for my 1977 f150 with a 400, I had to use the spacer that was with my original power steering pump and buy a longer bolt than was included with the kit. The only other parts I had to buy were a low side 3/8 hose and the belt. I've had it on and running for 2 weeks and love how quiet it is and simple is performs.

Simplest Installation I've Had So Far.

Jun 5, 2019 | By SkipDanesi

Own a 79 F150 and when the original pump started leaking I dreaded the thought of having to replace it. I went through the fun or should I say nightmare of bleeding the gearbox the first time. Remove the gearbox and hold it upright - seriously? What a pain. So happy this was as stated in the instructions. Total removal and install time of about 1-1 1/2 hours. Couldn't be happier. Thinking the Clydesdale Tie-Rod and Drag Link might be next. Thanks.

Complete Kit

May 6, 2018 | By Shawn Bonning

After purchasing this kit months ago, I finally got around to installing it. I had absolutely zero issues with it. The instructions were concise, and kit has every part you need except the belt. The only thing I wasn't smart enough to do was wait for the engine to cool down so I didn't get burned on the radiator while putting this kit on! This pump is so quiet, its like night and day compared to the stock plastic pump. Turns my 33's with a wimper.

Flawless Install with High Quality Parts

Switched over from stock during a frame off restoration of 1979 Bronco with 400. Easily compatible with Flowcooler waterpump. This is definitely a no fuss installation and makes a world of difference.

Saginaw/Delphi Steering Pump Kit

Feb 27, 2018 | By Jeremy Grimes

I installed this kit on my 77 F-150 with the 351M engine. Like some others have commented, I did have to slot the upper pump brace to get it to line up with the water pump mounting bolt. Other than that small issue, the kit went together great. The hardware is high quality and everything was included sans fluid. The truck drives better than brand new and steers like butter. I am running 35's and even parked at an idle the steering is fast and smooth. Bleeding the system was a non event unlike the old style pumps and it runs super quiet as well. After fighting 5 pumps over the last 10 years, I wish that I had done this after my first stock pump failed. Great product and a seriously worthy upgrade to these old trucks.

Works great! Easy install though did require slight modification of the upper bracket. I am running an aftermarket water pump which may have required the modification.

SAGINAW CONVERSION 78 F150 400

Nov 6, 2016 | By 78 F150 4x4

After years of dealing with a whiny Cardone p/s pump, I decided to give this kit a try. As another reviewer found, the upper brace bar is too short to connect to the water pump bolt. I had to elongate the holes to make it stretch. Had to use a combination of other washers to make the kit work, but once installed, filled it with fluid (had prev flushed) and there was no bleeding necessary. It is now smooth and quiet and the steering turns with my pinky finger, even with 35" tires. It solved the problem, just wish they would correct the brace bar for a better fit and would be a bolt and go as they say. Be prepared for some trial and error in gettng it bolted and lined up. I got the 17540 belt from NAPA and it was a perfect fit. The ordering and shipping process was great.

Quieter, Stronger

Feb 28, 2016 | By Ford400V8

I needed a new power steering pump to not invalidate the warranty on the rebuilt steering gear I was also replacing. Rebuilt pumps suck, and since a new stock pump is unavailable for my old Ford, this was it. The install was a pain, but that is typical of an item that isn't stock. The spacers weren't the correct width. The stabilizing bar was about 3/32 inch too short- just enough to give me grief. However, with 3/8" washers and a bit of trial and error, it is a perfect fit. No exaggeration- the pulley alignment is perfect on all 3 axes. It was also super easy to bleed the air out!! I was dreading this, but it ended up being the easiest part- even with a completely drained steering gear, inline filter, and hoses. My truck turns smoother, the steering is more responsive in rough terrain, and doesn't squeal when stressed. While the stock pump wasn't bad overall, it isn't in the same class as this one. Extremely pleased with the upgrade.

Saginaw Pump

Aug 22, 2014 | By Bill C

I'm rebuilding a 78 Bronco. One thing I wanted was an upgraded power steering pump. This Saginaw pump was what I was looking for all in one place without a lot of junkyard searching (in Wyoming that isn't easy). Only problem I've had so far is I had to send the pump back because the pulley came mounted crooked. Otherwise, the pressure hose could be a little shorter with an L bend to the metal in both ends. You may end up making a new hose for your application. Will run it this weekend to see how it operates.

Made the job much easier.

May 1, 2014 | By John Duplechain

I considered hitting up junk yards and putting together a kit to convert my 78, but this made it way too easy for the price. Bolted right up, adjustment is really easy. Highly recommend this.
