Steering Pump

The Ford Model CII power steering pump (3A674) :

• Is a belt-driven, 10-slipper type pump with a fiberglass-filled nylon power steering oil reservoir (3A697) .
• The power steering oil reservoir is retained to the rear side of the aluminum pump housing.
• The pump body is encased within the housing and reservoir.
• The power steering pump design incorporates a pump pressure fitting that allows the pump power steering pressure hose (3A719) to swivel. This is normal and does not indicate a loose fitting.
• A pressure-sensitive identification tag is retained to the reservoir body. This tag indicates the basic model number (HBC) and the suffix.

   CAUTION: Always use the model codes on the tag when requesting service parts in case of any differences in internal components. Refer to Section 11-00 for an example of this tag.
