Well, we here at Mickey Mouse Inc. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> figured out a few things in the last couple days! There are NO Mitsu anything in the wreckers within 200 miles! so I have picked up pieces and pumps from Nissans, Dodge colt, and Mazdas (same pumps, but all V-pulleys!)

The innards of the pumps are basically the same. The stator in the Ford pump is adujstable by resetting it on the pins inside. (havent checked a Mitsu pump yet, but I now have 3 extras!) This raises or lowers the pressure. D50 pump puts out about 600 psi. I found this out "AFTER" I cut the pulley off the Ranger pump and just welded it to the stock 2.6 pump pulley <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> I also welded the 2.6 bracket to the Ranger. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Heres the option list: (Hardest to easiest)
-Reset Ford pump stator, but have to fab line connections.
-Find pulley for 2.6 pump, and redrill Ford mounting brkt.
-Find Nissan or Mazda pump, (holes line up to brkt) Still need pulley.
-As Old Colt said, get a pump from a V6 (although unsure of mounting and lines)
-ChrisJ has the easiest and best idea (albeit expensive) AGR builds a great pump and box setups, (availability?).
-Tom Allen at PSC Motorsports (Performance Steering Components and original owner of AGR!) in Texas, sells or will build ANYTHING! Also has pulleys, brackets, lines etc.

I tend to experiment A LOT! Most things I try on a temporary basis (unless, of course, it works!) I grew up on a farm 80 miles from nowhere, so I'm used to "making do with what I have".
