Welcome to the forum!

Have you done any troubleshooting to determine when the pump is not running? If not we can help. There are a number of things that could cause it to not run. Pump fuse, pump relay, pressure switch are first to come to mind.

First run 12V directly to the pump. You could have a bad pressure switch or a bad relay and the motor will not run because of them.

A new ACDelco 25535707 Power Brake Booster that includes the motor, pump, a new pressure switch and a one year warranty is available in The Reatta Store but they are expensive. It is the best price that you will find anywhere on a new one.

A used one might be a good alternative if you can find one.

If you live somewhere you can go to a "pick-n-pull" several other cars used the Teves system. Since Reattas are rather rare in most wrecking yards, the system was an option on Cadillac, Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile..... I don't think Chevy offered it.

Pontiac Bonniville SSEI, Olds 98 Touring Sedans, Cadillac Seville and Eldorado with the Touring Package all had the Teves ABS. It was an option on Riviera, but the only Buick I have ever found with it was a LeSabre.

If you can find a wrecked vehicle with the system, pull the pump motor assembly. That would be the cast iron housing, motor, accumulator, and pressure switch. Unscrew the small line that runs from the pump to the booster, cut the feed line from the resevour, unplug the electrical connections and 1 bolt holds the unit to the master cylinder.

Jaguars also used the Teves Mark II system, I only mention this because there are a few systems (motor/w/pump,pres. sw & accum.) on ebay for $120-$150. They appear to be interchangable, I'm curious??. The only thing I can visually see different is resevoir to motor supply is on other side (but I think still accessable to run hose to). Just wondering. see link to one of them below.

There is a possibility that it could be made to work I guess but the pressure switch and electrical connector on the pump motor are entirely different.

Where is Jim Finn? I know he has some motors/pumps for sale.

[harry yarnell]

I've got good used pump/motor assemblies. $75 plus ship.

[Guest rt63hawk]

thanks for all the advice, as the weather clears i will plan a trip to out you pull it to look for a system off some other car noted in the answers. if i don't find one i will be giving mr perryman of MD a call for a used one. can someone tell me the processer to change it out.

Installing used 25 year old USED brake parts is a real BAD idea. I wish the cheapskates that keep suggesting this would stop with the terrible advice. Get new brake parts for your wife's car unless of course you would prefer a new wife.

[DAVES89]

1st suggestion was for a new one and a place to buy it. Alternates were offered.

He will make his own decision.

For the record salvage yards have been selling used brake parts, including master cylinders for years.

But it is good that we have the voice of reason making sure we don't get carried away getting parts so cheap that we run the risk of being a menace on the road.
