Default Steering column seal

Hi
As a new member, I wanted to welcome.
I imported a 1990 Chevy Blazer to Polish.
In the steering column of Saginaw 708 number 7802644L I have a leak from the front input shaft. 3/4-30 splined. I can't find on the internet what set of seals I should buy. Only the front is needed, the rest of the column is fine.
Please help.

I just got this info from powersteering.com for that same steering box number:

Seal kit:
PSS.SB.CHV.007 at https://powersteeringseals.com/produ...els-1979-1993/

Lee suggested "Sunsong 8401299." I dont like or use Chinese seals...there is too much counterfeit Chinese goods being sold in the US.

It is possible to install a new seal without disassembly of the steering box. If there is clearance, clean the old seal and shaft perfectly clean and use RTV sealant to adhere a new seal turned in reverse, to the face of the old seal.
The only thing that matters is the inside seal lips contacting the shaft.
