Thanks Wendell....Welcome, and what you bringing to the party? (what's your rig)
I worked on PS pumps today. When I bought the serp setup, it had a recently rebulit pump with it, so I want to use that pump. I took the pump reservoir (and remote reservoir) from a Diesel setup, and added it to the newer pump.
Dis-assembly of the pumps:

Any ideas yet on where/how you're going to mount the remote resevoir?
John, I haven't looked at the layout of the drivers fenderwell yet, but that's where I'm thinking....something to get it up higher, to keep it out of water that low on the engine....I'll probably build some type of bracket to mount it there. The reservoir has a bracket on the side of it, where it was mounted to the diesel. Real nice as it has a couple captured nuts on it already.
I'll get a pic of it up.
Gotta go pack for the races.
I have that same remote res (got it from somebody on here - don't remember who), that I plan to use with the stock SBC pump. I'm interested in where you end up mounting it, cause I haven't figured out where to mount mine.

That res. did come stock on some big blocks. I got one with my 87 BB. from a suburban.
In addition to the remote reservoir, did you get the pump reservoir too?
I was looking at the inner fender panel tonight, and it looks like it should mount OK in front of the hood hinge.
Here is the remote reservoir:
Yes, I still have the stock SBC pump res too.

I did. I made an adapter out of some tubings to make it work.
Thought that was easier than to swap reservoirs, and I guess you get a little more oil in it.

I plan to do pretty much the same thing Fred did.
I will be... someday. 
I've had most of the parts for a couple years now.

I know what ya mean....I've been collecting my junk for about 5 years before I started, and I should have collected more, for all I still had to buy.
So I've been working on the fuel lines, getting them bent up. making some progress on it. Seems like I've done nothing but mow lately....fooking rain is non stop, and when it does stop, the grass needs mowing again. I don't usually mind mowing, its nice to have big yard, but dam..3 hours at a time eats into my day severely.

My yard probably only takes an hour, but it still seems like forever when you have something else you want to do.
