Power Steering Pump
There were two power steering pumps use on the 1956 Golden Hawk.
The early Type A power steering pump is painted black.
It can be identified by two pressure hoses coming off the
back of the pump assembly.
The cover on the Type A pump, part
# 534704, had white painted
lettering
FILL TO LEVEL WITH AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION FLUID TYPE “A”
around the top of its surface.
Through the years, this lettering was
probably worn off and/or painted
over on many cars.
The pump was changed with serial number 6031693 with a final assembly date of 1-31-
56.(although a few cars were built after this serial number with the early Type A pump). The Los
Angeles equivalent would be approximately 6800334 with a final assembly date of 1-31-56.
The new Type B pump’s hydraulic return hose is attached
to a tube in the reservoir, rather than to the pump body
assembly. The return hose does not have high pressure
fittings, but has a wraparound hose clamp.
The cover, Part # 1541313 of the newer Type B pump
has raised lettering on the surface which are painted
black to match the rest of the cover.
NOTE: Some Type B pump
covers sported white painted
lettering. Only replacement
covers sold by Studebaker
(service parts dept.)
specified the White painted
lettering.”
