I've got a '95 DOHC Cutlass, it has the Magnasteer option. There's a plug on the top...

 

Anyhow, every parts store I've tried (got a huge grinding noise from pump) has only the STANDARD pump.

 

Any idea where to find the correct pump without taking a second mortgage out on the house?

I've just been thumbing through my factory service manual...

 

Is it correct that the power steering pump is the same on NV7 cars, the only difference is the electronic proportioning valve, which would be swapped to a new pump?

 

That being said, could the valve be what's causing the rather loud whine? After all, if the pintle is restricting output from the pump, I'd expect the pump would make a good bit of noise, sort of like pushing the steering against the stops, forcing the pump to push a little harder...

 

Am I understanding properly how this thing works?

 

Thanks'
