Also see the thread at https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/2330597/aar-p-s-pump.html#Post2330597 since the pulleys are not all the same.

I've found that 71 340 E-bodies with T/A gears typically have federal pumps with solid pulleys. The earlier cars with the standard ratio I have seen Saginaw pumps more than not.

Below is a picture of the pulley from my 340 71 cuda with 3/31 SPD

Any recommendations for a correct looking power steering hose? 340 w/Federal pump.
