IN DIRE NEED of a ps pump

Hey gang.
I've looked absolutely everywhere for it, and I can't seem to get anywhere with it.
I'm looking for a Power Steering pump for a 1984 GSL-SE.
If anybody has any leads, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

So I found the part on Rock Auto,
But the part is not available.
I called AC Delco, and they can't even get the part.
Back to square one here gang! If you guys have anymore leads it would be VERY much appreciated.

Rock Auto showed one that was a rebuild service. Send your old pump in and they rebuild it. I was able to add it to my cart just now.

From Rock Auto Site
A-1 CARDONE Part # 215684 {#FA5632610} Remanufactured w/o Reservoir - Return and Rebuild Service Only - You send your part to be rebuilt and returned to you. We'll email shipping instructions after you submit your order.
Inline filter available

These is also a reseal kit for under $7 if you want to do it yourself.

ps pump

You can order a rebuild kit from any Autozone. About $7 easy service!

Be careful on the rebuild kit, as I ordered one years ago thinking I'd be rebuilding the PS pump when I had the engine out, and once it was all out - I figured out it was the seal rebuild kit for the steering gear shaft, not the PS pump.

Also, know that 84/85 PS pumps are known for the C-clip inside that holds everything together wearing through the steel bushing on the pump rotor, which then allows the shaft to move forward and break seal contact on the front oil seal. This results in loss of pressure and fluid loss over time. That was the problem I had with mine, and I flipped the steel collar over so it would provide a little more utility and keep the shaft in place. In the original position, it made it 222k miles, so I'm figuring the flipped collar should last at least another 100 or so!

Also, there's some good info out there for swapping to the later 86+ PS pumps which require some ingenuity, but don't have this problem.

My pump is completely mangled. It was intermittent at best before the pully cut its own head off and jumped out the bottom of the car on the highway :P. I was looking at swapping the 86+ one in but it sounded like a ton of work.
I basically need an 84 GSL-SE for parts, but we all know finding these rigs is next to impossible. I've tried so many sites that say they have these parts, and then as soon as you add it to a cart, it comes back saying the part number doesn't exist.
