Re: Davis speed equipment power steering pump bracket for 292
Ok so with research I have done with looking for the lower alternator bracket I learned that my 292 had an offset pulley. Some people call it a weighted pulley because the backside of it is thicker giving it more weight. But in reality it offsets the pulley forward. I know this to be true of the harmonic balancer I have has the same offset.
My issue today is I had to make an adapter to mount the style bracket I do have (example photo attached) which puts the alternator near the stock location. Well the belt going to the PS pump hits the alternator pulley nut so I ordered a gm double pulley for the 10si I will just let the PS belt run on the alternator pulley for a little. The pulley has the same offset I would need if I ever find a stock alternator bracket.
I have seen on some c30 box trucks with the 292 use this double pulley, now that I need some parts I cant find one in the junk yard.
