I know what I’m looking for is one with 2 returns and one high pressure port
Just google "Saginaw pump dual return"

Well I’ll be dipped! I dont know why I didn’t think of googling that term

Unfortunately I’ve never seen detoit in my local junkyards but I’d buy new anyways thank you!The saginaw pump is mostly the same through its run, only major change is in the 70s it changed from keyed to press fit pully. These pumps have a valve to control the pressure and the hydro ones had the highest setting. This valve is easy to remove, its behind the fitting for the high pressure line. A 6.2/6.5/bbc would be a easy engine to find in the junkyard to grab one. This will ensure you have pinky steering when on the brakes.
Say for the a 86 6.2 on rockauto, I see these two options for a can and has the extra port.
Not sure if that can ham will work, it will be clocked slightly different than one for 86 van 6.9. The remote reservoir one would not be clock in a way to cause issue, but would need to mount that somewhere.
Same in PA junkyards pretty much anything pre 1990 trucks have been crushed.Unfortunately I’ve never seen detoit in my local junkyards but I’d buy new anyways thank you!
That was exactly my thought, I’m no expert on fabrication but if made a couple brackets before and now I even have a drill press and welderSo, after all of this discussion, Austin, if you do end up getting a Saginaw pump that will work, there's a lot of people who would like to use one on their trucks. The trouble is that the mounting brackets are very hard to find. Could you see about having some made? I know that people would buy them.
I believe your right on this one, this is what I’m going to try first only concern is the way the bottom return is facing but I done see it being too big of a deal thoughA 6.2/6.5/bbc would be a easy engine to find in the junkyard to grab one.
@Cubey what fluid do you use? My duramax with a Saginaw calls for power steering fluid so now I’m curious

Assuming the bolt holes for the bracket are the same I think I’ll be in business
When I get all this stuff figured out I thing I’ll take my first shot at doing a write up in a hydro boost and Saginaw swap unless it’s been done before that I haven’t seen

When you get a pump, make sure it's assembled correctly. I ran into this problem on an O'Reilly pump. The collared nut on the stud was put on backwards, making it not fit the bracket. Rather than void the warranty, I got a bare pump (for much less money) to install in the old reservoir instead because I was having stuff shipped in and couldn't go to town without power steering in a 27ft motorhome. I returned the O'Reilly one later and they took it back no problem.
Old pump on the left, new on the right.

The collar is supposed to be in the pump, not outside. The bracket is supposed to slide on the stud right there where the collar is.
