GM Saginaw "Banjo" Style Power Steering Pump - Chrome

• Complete GM Saginaw banjo-style P-Series hydraulic power steering pump, chrome finish

• Cast iron housing with chrome steel reservoir and chrome aluminum cap included

• Compatible pulley and mounting hardware not included; sold individually

This is a complete GM Saginaw banjo-style P-Series hydraulic power steering pump finished in chrome, featuring a cast iron housing, chrome steel integral reservoir, and chrome 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 chrome 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.

Chrome Cast Iron Banjo-Style Pump with Reservoir and Cap Included
This complete GM Saginaw banjo-style P-Series hydraulic power steering pump features a chrome cast iron housing, chrome steel integral reservoir, and chrome 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 banjo-style P-Series hydraulic power steering pump with a chrome steel reservoir and chrome aluminum reservoir cap. A compatible keyed pulley and mounting hardware are not included.

What does "banjo style" mean?
"Banjo style" refers to the pump's hydraulic outlet configuration, which uses a banjo-style pressure fitting. It distinguishes this GM Saginaw P-Series pump from the GM Type II (Saginaw TC) pump family. Brackets, hoses, pulleys, and reservoirs are not interchangeable between these pump designs.

How is this pump different from the Saginaw pump with an angled fitting?
Both are GM Saginaw banjo-style P-Series pumps with the same inlet and outlet sizes. This version features a straight 5/8-inch inverted flare outlet, while the angled-fitting version uses an angled outlet to provide additional hose routing clearance in tighter engine compartments.

What are the inlet and outlet port sizes and styles?
The pump features a 3/8-inch hose barb inlet and a 5/8-inch inverted flare pressure outlet with a straight orientation. Verify your hoses and fittings are compatible before installation.

What type of pulley shaft does this pump use?
This pump features a 5/8-inch keyed shaft for keyed power steering pulleys. It is not compatible with press-fit pulleys.

Is a pulley included?
No. A compatible keyed GM Saginaw P-Series power steering pulley is required and is sold separately.

Does the reservoir come included?
Yes. The pump includes a chrome steel reservoir with a chrome aluminum reservoir cap.

What material is the pump made from?
The pump features a cast iron housing with a chrome finish, a chrome steel reservoir, and a chrome aluminum reservoir cap.

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

Can this be used on a small block or big block Chevy engine swap?
Yes. This pump is commonly used on small block Chevy and big block Chevy engine swaps, hot rods, street rods, and classic GM performance builds using a Saginaw P-Series banjo-style pump.

Do I need to bleed the system after installation?
Yes. Fill the system with the recommended power steering fluid and properly bleed it after installation to remove trapped air and ensure smooth, quiet steering operation.
