Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I know close to nothing about cars/trucks, so sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense or if this question has been asked before.

I have an 89 Dodge Raider with a bad power steering pump. I've taken it to a local mechanic, and he basically told me that he can't help me because none of the local auto parts stores have the correct pump for it. So I ordered a pump online, and he said that its still the wrong pump.

My question is: Is there a special power steering pump for a Raider that nobody makes anymore? Or is there a way to modify the wrong pump to fit? Or should I just take my Raider somewhere else? Maybe these guys just don't know much about Raiders so they're not able to replace the pump.

Any info about this topic would be much appreciated.
