Good info above, but using that s10 pump (tc pump, saginaw type 2, or whatever you want to call it) doesn't make much sense these days. I ran one a looong time ago, but that was before the bearmachs, britpart, and prolines of the world showed up along with a plethora of parted out discos when the correct replacement was around the $400 mark. They aren't really any more common or durable than the ZF and pumping volume seems to be the same. The original saginaw pump is a different story, but that requires custom brackets.

I’m not sure why you would have attempted this on a D2 when this is in the D1 tech section... I’ve never had a D2 but I imagine the PS pump is totally different from the D1. Your best bet is to try and find a D1 stock PS pump out of a junkyard and pull the flange off of it, that will fit on the Chevy spindle no problem. Make sure to grab the pulley wheel as well, as the D2’s may have a different mounting pattern. That being said, if the D2’s pulley is a significantly different diameter than the D1’s (or even worse, doesn’t run the same belt) you may be SOL. Good luck mate, you’re in it now :/

Try the guys in my signature for a D1 or D2 pulley you can modify. I rebuilt a D2 power steering pump, what a pain and it only worked for a year or so before it started whining again.

What fluid should I use in a Chevy PS pump? I had used PS fluid in my 98s OEM pump and in the OEM pump from a 95 Disco I swapped when the original began to fail, and I tried Lucas PS stop leak in the 2nd pump before I read that LR recommended ATF. I am still having a groaning and leaking and foaming problem with the 2nd pump and have been adding Type F ATF when it gets low which is often. So... did PS fluid kill both Pumps? And should I use ATF or PS fluid in a replacement Chevy Pump?

I haven't installed a Chevy PS pump yet and was asking what to use if/when I did. So... PS fluid then. My other question was whether PS fluid destroys OEM pumps? I wonder what is different about the OEM pumps that LR said to use ATF instead of PS fluid in them; I assume it is the pump that required ATF and not the rack?
