I know this is an older post but I was wondering if the Corsica pump you put in is still working? I just ordered one today and is to be in tomorrow. I got a couple questions.
Is the return nipple a press-in or thread in. In the picture at NAPA it looks like the new one will not come with any nipple. And if so how did you get it out without ruining it?
Randy,
Thank you for your post. This is my second power steering pump and this one at $42 hurts a lot less then the last one of $430.

The pump didn't come with a nipple, I made one from spare parts I had. Other than that it was a direct replacement and worked perfectly. As far as I know it is still working. I sold the enginesame for bigger power.

Has anyone found a power steering pump that fits the newer 496mag and 496magHO?
I bought a delco, but it looks like a corner would have to be ground down for it to go in bracket . 2002 outlaw 25

I was told Tuff Stuff Performance makes aftermarket Type II pumps that will fit... I haven't it done it personally but might be worth checking..

Thanks for getting me on to these. They seem to have a great line of PS pumps.
