Hey.. newb question... I just picked up a 79 Malibu and still getting used to
it. Immediately noticed the over assisted steering. I don't have time to
junkyard hunt, so if i'm just walking into a parts store and ordering a
new or rebuilt box what is the most popular application??? Stock V8 pump,
something quicker and firmer.

(I'm in canada so the mail order route isn't really and option due to shipping costs).


I'm sure this has been answerd a bucket load of times but my searching hasn't
helped...

Thanks for any assist,

If you go to a auto parts store get one from a Monte SS , Buick GN or Cutlass 442 they have a quick ratio steering radius and are a direct bolt in for you're Malibu.. also you can swap one from a 3rd gen Fbody just not sure on the pitman arm..

Double check the PS lines also, you may need adapters here. Not 100% though, just something to look out for.
