While trying to pull the power steering pulley the lip on the pulley started to fail. Had to get caveman on it.

BTDT. I had a new pump, but ended up having to run out and buy a new pulley for $20. The $40 Harbor Freight power steering pulley tool is a champ, but I'd skip the $20 one.

I “rented” mine from O’Reily’s.

Where did you buy it?

Amazon, this was the part number. Prices seem to have gone up since then.

Doesn't seem like too bad of a price, I think I paid around $400 for my Delphi unit in my 98. Wished I would've gone to the MPFI though.

With only 230k on the clock, pulling the engine for a slight fresh'in up was the best thing you could've done for her. These things are the best! Stock is the way to go with this style application, and easily will put another 250k no prob if taken care of and not abused.

I’ve got the upper manifold off! Good news! It looks like the coolant was definitely leaking from the back of the lower manifold and not the freeze plug!

Looks like it came apart relatively OK too. Worst part of doing the lower manifold is getting the distributor in correctly. So I have been told anyway, haven't done this job yet. Not particularly looking forward to it......
