I may figured out my PS pump leak ( I thought I had fixed this, JBW to the failure), now how to repair? Leak from where the neck was brazed to the main housing. ? Can the pump be disassemble and the repair made drum the inside, if so how do you dissemble And repair? Any schematics? Or do I replace with this old pump that came from a car sitting in a SD field? I would want to verify it is good? Or swap the housings? Thoughts, thanks
Take both pumps to Lares and have them build you a good one.

thanks Chris. I just finished watching a rebuild by Chris Craft. Looks kind of like a fun project. I wonder if anyone including Lares would find the problem until the pump is fully rebuilt. There seems to be no other issues or leaks in the two years I have had the car running. I rebuilt my SS pump about 15 years ago and no issues. The only thing being the SS has a remote reservoir so no neck to leak. And as I don’t know how to braze That’s a problem. Lares is a few miles from me. If I go to Lares, I better take the special little shield for the belt off, as I expect I will never get it back. It’s not reproduced as far as I know. by the way there is a ElCamino 66 neutral saftey switch for a TH 350 that’s different than a 66 powerglide switch that you are suppose to be able tomake work with the 2004R and possibly the reverse lights. We’ll see when I get it

Save yourself the time and hassle and follow Chris's suggestion. Lares does one thing and they do it well. Nice folks to deal with also.
