Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

let me look at my friends but the one the left i think goes to the pump and the other to the header

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

It ties in with the A/C bkt. Without the A/C I think you'll either need a non A/C P/S bkt or do some fabricating. I think, maybe someone else can help or I can look at mine when I get home.

The 2 holes on the left side of the pump in front of the header tube slide in front of and in back of a hole in the water pump. That's the hole on the left side of the pic in the water pump.

The bracket on the left of pic 3 looks like you can turn it so the square nut can be bolted to the elongated adjustment hole in the other bracket on the PS pump. The hole below the square nut will have the front header bolt go through it. You'll probably need a 1" spacer tube and a 2" or so bolt since you now have headers.

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

hmmm, ya , thankyou but no ac.....

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

Are you able to figure out where the pump should be located by looking at the red line in the pic?

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

this is what I did to mount mine...

I got some muscle and steer it manually like a man:sumo:

:lol:

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

Almost looks like you are missing piece. Here are some pics of mine.

Its on an 81 I just got.

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

Pffft, my engine looks much dirtier than that...

And my pump looks exaclty the same as your bracket. Seems like OP is missing something in there.

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

ya i think i am missing something, crap.

anyone know of a good easy cheap aftermarket bracket set up i can buy??

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

upon closer inspection, you seem to have everything. the red line a few posts up goes into the water pump and that's the pivot point for tensioning. The other two pieces are like a puzzle to secure on the header/body of the pump with the sliding capability for tensioning. Just look closely at the pictue and you'll figure it out.

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

I couldn't swear to it with pics posted, but put

200672716750

into ebay search box. If you don't have it, you most probably need it.

I agree you may already have it but need to mount the small one at an angle so that it fits header. I think that is a double bolt and nut, or it is on mine anyway.

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

I bought this bracket from a member on this forum for my 66 c10 with a 350 I cant seem to make it fit. I think its the wrong bracket

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

just installed this today

easiest fix nice quick simple

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

Take the pump out of the equation for he moment.

The bracket mounts on water pump and head. Once that lines up, then introduce the power steering pump where the pulley is aligned facing forward and lined up with belt.

Once that is done, you will see that you need yet one more small piece that bolts to exhaust. Look at my pic posted, you will see it there.

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

Im also having big issues can some buddy help me out? check my pics out Thanks Jeff

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

Look at my post above. Safely remove the puppy from harms way. Take only the bracket and line it up to the head as posted previously. Once that is done, with the cap on and pump facing up, manuever it until holes line up. It should not be a mystery at that point.

You are going to have to remove the top bolt on water pump. It shares the location with power steering mount.

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

me and a the mechanic whose working on it says this is the wrong bracket

Re: power steering pump bracket puzzle
 

I found a good pick of that bracket in use on a jeep.
