They made those Saginaw 800 boxes from 1965 to at least the mid-'90s. You should be able to get any junkyard core and pull the top cover for the screw. Or call somebody like Power Steering Services...

I have never been able to bleed a cylinder with any angle to it. Gotta get it level so the air won't get trapped. If you have no vise, jack the rear up two feet!
