Guys....I need to replace my rack and pinion and power steering pump on my 1986 GLHT. I'm not sure whether to go the the identical replacement rack (2.5 turns) or the normal ratio (3 turns).

Will any 2.2 litre power steering pump do or do I have to mate it with the proper ratio rack. I was told that the pump for the shelby rack was different from the pump for the normal ratio rack.....but I never heard of that before today.

Yes the pumps are different

If you want to retain good handling, stick with the 2.5 rack.

I purchased the 2.5 rack, but also need a pump.

I noticed on car-part.com a plastic resevoir and a metal resevoir pump......I assume the metal one is for the 2.5 rack ?

Any insight as to what pump is needed for the 2.5 rack.......advising me that there is a different pump isn't much help, I need to know how to tell which one to use

GLHT uses metal pump, I know, I have a 85 GLHT.

I also have a rebuilt metal power steering pump for sale, if you're interested.
