Here are images of pumps I see

https://www.google.com/search?q=saginaw+pump&rlz=1C1EJFA_enUS886US886&sxsrf=ALeKk01EVtrEEWdynYkG9jXEqKKpas1bbA:1610648643142&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiFwu3hhZzuAhVNbKwKHdb8C9QQ_AUoAnoECBIQBA&biw=1481&bih=715#imgrc=NaekECcKK-2cUM

Here' what I am trying to do. I am looking for a cheap complete power
steering pump for a Stag including reservoir. Since the Saginaw pump was
used all over the palace, I'm hoping to get one for pennies. The ones I see
seem to have three ports at the back of the reservoir. The Stag only has
two ports HT out in reguler in. Which looks similar to the one
mentioned for the Corvette. I doubt I can get one for a Corvette on the
cheap.

For the pumps with three ports, is the guts of the pump different?
