If the 1961 is same as the 1963, which I think it is, Ive just replaced the motor, In many cases, the motor is oil driven from the power steering, so first check this, follow the lines from the power steering box and see if they go through the firewall, if so its oil driven, If so you will need to remove the panel just behind the hood ( outside the car) and you'll see the pump. Ill not say more incase yours is electric and this is all nonsense, if you need more from me contact me on neil.willis@hotmail.co.uk
