Earl's Performance Remote Reservoir Adapter Kits for Saginaw Type II Power Steering Pumps

Earl's Performance Remote Reservoir Adapter Kits provide a clean, bolt-on solution for converting factory Saginaw Type II power steering pumps to accept a remotely mounted reservoir. No cutting, welding, or permanent pump housing modifications are required — making these kits the professional-grade choice for performance builders and custom enthusiasts who need maximum underhood packaging flexibility.

Why Remote Mount Your Power Steering Reservoir?

Performance and custom engine builds frequently present tight underhood clearance challenges where a factory-mounted plastic reservoir simply won't fit. Most Saginaw Type II power steering pumps come from the factory with a bolt-on plastic reservoir that is difficult to modify or relocate. Earl's adapter kits solve this problem cleanly by enabling full removal of the factory reservoir and professional plumbing to a remote-mounted unit. A special flow valve and retaining bracket assembly secures the reservoir fitting within the pump body, delivering a reliable, leak-free connection without invasive modifications.

Key Features:

• Designed for factory-style Saginaw Type II power steering pumps — fully compatible with stock-style pumps originally equipped with a bolt-on plastic reservoir, including Holley part numbers 198-101 and 198-104
• Special flow valve and retaining bracket securely holds the reservoir fitting in place, eliminating the pump housing modifications required by thread-in style reservoir fittings
• Compatible with most Holley accessory drive systems, including High Mount, Mid-Mount, and Low Mount configurations
• Multiple plumbing connection options available across kit variants to suit different hose routing requirements
• True bolt-on installation — no permanent alterations to the pump housing
• An aftermarket remote-mounted power steering reservoir is required to complete the installation and is sold separately

Ideal Applications:

These adapter kits are an excellent fit for engine swaps, race cars, street rods, and muscle cars where underhood space is at a premium and a clean, purposeful appearance matters. Whether building a competition vehicle or a show-quality custom, Earl's Remote Reservoir Adapter Kits provide the plumbing flexibility to position the power steering reservoir exactly where it needs to be.
