Federal would be the more heavy duty version right? My 318 gran coupe has a saginaw and has worked fine for 150K. Did the AAR's use Federal's like the Hemi's? Any help would be much appreciated.

Saginaws are a more HD version. I don't know way they used Federals in the high ratio gear cars. But I know people that stuggled for years with the Federal pump on thier AAR and T/A when they autocrossed. But when they swiched to the Saginaw they never had any issues. I could feel the Federal pump in my Dart not being able to keep up with rapid inputs. I swapped it out for saginaw. Never had that issue again. I used that old Federal pump to replace a seized unit in a C-body of mine. Never had a Saginaw go bad though.
