This is a complete GM Saginaw banjo-style P-Series hydraulic power steering pump finished in black, featuring a cast iron housing, black steel integral reservoir, and black aluminum reservoir cap. The "banjo style" designation refers to the banjo bolt fitting used in this pump family's hydraulic connection — the defining characteristic that distinguishes Saginaw P-Series banjo pumps from the Saginaw TC/Type II pump series and affects hose, fitting, and bracket compatibility throughout the steering system.

This pump features a 3/8" hose barb inlet, 5/8" inverted flare outlet, and a keyed shaft for keyed-pulley attachment. It's a direct replacement for a worn, leaking, or damaged Saginaw banjo pump and is also commonly used when upgrading to a black pump on show builds, engine bay restorations, and street performance builds running a Saginaw P-Series power steering system.

It's commonly used on Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, C10, and GMC C/K builds, as well as small block and big block Chevy engine swaps, hot rod, and street rod builds running a Saginaw P-Series banjo-style pump setup. This pump is not compatible with GM Type II (TC series) power steering systems. A compatible keyed pulley and mounting hardware are not included — confirm pulley shaft compatibility, bracket alignment, hose routing, and fitting compatibility before installation. Fill and bleed the system after installation.

Black Cast Iron Banjo-Style Pump with Reservoir and Cap Included
This complete GM Saginaw banjo-style P-Series hydraulic power steering pump features a black cast iron housing, black steel integral reservoir, and black aluminum cap — everything needed to drop a complete chrome Saginaw pump into a compatible P-Series power steering system, minus the pulley and mounting hardware.

What "Banjo Style" Means and Why It Matters for Compatibility
The "banjo style" designation refers to the banjo bolt fitting used in this Saginaw pump family's hydraulic connection — the key design difference between the Saginaw P-Series banjo pump and the Saginaw TC/Type II pump series. Brackets, hoses, pulleys, and reservoirs are not interchangeable between these two pump families, so confirming your system uses a banjo-style P-Series pump before ordering is essential.

Is this a complete power steering pump or just a housing?
This is a complete GM Saginaw P-Series hydraulic power steering pump with black steel reservoir and black plastic reservoir cap included. A compatible keyed pulley and mounting hardware are not included.

What does "straight outlet" mean and when would I need an angled outlet instead?
This pump has a straight inverted flare outlet — the standard orientation for most Saginaw P-Series hose routing setups. If your engine bay has tight clearance around the outlet fitting, TSP also offers this pump with an angled outlet fitting that redirects the hose path for improved clearance.

Is this the same pump as the black banjo-style pump?
No — the banjo-style pump (JM2003BK) uses a banjo bolt fitting configuration. This pump (JM2005BK) is the standard Saginaw P-Series pump with a hose barb inlet and inverted flare outlet. Confirm your steering system's fitting and bracket requirements before choosing between the two.

What are the inlet and outlet port sizes and styles?
The inlet is a 3/8" hose barb. The outlet is a 5/8" inverted flare, straight orientation. Confirm your hose ends and fitting configuration match before ordering.

What type of pulley shaft does this pump use?
This pump has a keyed shaft for keyed pulley attachment — not compatible with press-fit pulleys.

Is a pulley included?
No, a compatible keyed Saginaw P-Series pulley is required and sold separately.

Does the reservoir come included?
Yes — a black steel reservoir with black plastic reservoir cap is included.

What material is the housing made from?
Cast iron with a black finish. The reservoir is steel with a black finish; the reservoir cap is black plastic.

Is this compatible with a GM Type II (TC series) power steering system?
No, this pump is designed for GM Saginaw P-Series power steering systems and is not compatible with GM Type II (TC series) systems.

Can this be used on a small block or big block Chevy engine swap?
Yes, this pump is commonly used on small block and big block Chevy engine swaps, hot rod, and street rod builds running a Saginaw P-Series power steering setup.

Do I need to bleed the system after installation?
Yes, fill and properly bleed the power steering system after installation to remove trapped air and ensure smooth steering response.
