thanks a lot that helps I have the lines right but someone give me a pump I think it off a 56 maybe it looks the seem but it just has one fitting on the back and one on top and I can't get the air out of it

 

On a 52 Olds, there are two different pumps used. Either a Vickers or a Eaton.

You can bleed the air out by preferably filling the lines from the gear to the pump. But most of us don't have the proper equipment to do it right, so. you can go ahead and fill from the reservoir.

Run the engine for about a minute or less at idle, just enough to get the oil to circulating.

Then run the engine for about a minute at about 1500 rpm moving the steering wheel full travel from one side to the other. You should have the oil level about one inch below the rim of the reservoir.

If you didn't put the lid tight on the reservoir, you can take it back off and check for bubbles.

You might want to check and see which pump you have. A Vickers would be #561883 and the Eaton is #5664322.

The Olds 52-53-54-55 should be the same. 56, I'm not sure.


Hope this helps
