Rocket seals may can cross reference my seal number and get a loaded red seal. I will check with them.
I wonder why my car would have a bigger ram, I was told this a Ford power steering unit.

They do it by size, so get out your micrometer. I took the seals to them, and they measured them, and then came up with the proper seals. The biggest difference, is that they are the "loaded" seals, so pressure to the outer and inner walls, is applied all the time.

Good for you, stay away from COVID. When those mid 50's Fords and Chevy's came out, I thought they were beautiful, and I haven't changed my mind.

Ordered the seals Monday and received them today. That's fast. I installed the seal today and discovered there is a rough spot when I push the shaft in.
Chain Drive said for me to watch for this, I may have a leak, if so I will try to find a new cyljnder. It's together now.
