Power Steering Question??????????
I have/had a problem with the power steering bracket on my '72 3/4 T, with a factory 402 BB.
The bracket for the power steering pump is "bent" so the belt is "out of alignment." I can stand at the left fender and look across the belts & pulleys & see that things aren't lined up. (This is the factory set up) So as a result, it flings belts like there is no tomorrow. I finally got tired of replacing belts & just put a "necker/suicide" knob on the steering wheel. A friend of mine gave me the P/S pump & bracket assembly from a 454 he's putting in his Studebaker PU. Here's the question/problem: I have 1 friend that says everything will work; 1 that says it might work; and 1 that says it won't work. Please bear in mind, none of these folks are "youngsters" and have been involved with trucks & cars forever. (the youngest is in his mid-50's; the eldest, mid-70's) Any input would be appreciated. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much detail as possible. Thanx, El Jay P.S. Somebody else told me to just run the P/S belt "loose" so it doesn't get tossed off.
