I6 250 Power Steering Pump Alignment

[RdoubleU]

I am in the middle of a power steering conversion on a 68 with a 250. I have used Shiftys How To in the FAQ section and numerous other posts to get the the point I am at now.

All that I have left is to properly align the power steering pulley.

My Issue: The pump pulley is off around 1/4 inch from the other pulleys causing the belt to want to align directly in the center of the double pulley I have.

I have shimmed with washers without much luck due to the limits of the early 250 mounting brackets. I believe pulley offsets are going to be my fix but not sure.

Can anyone advise an idea to align the pump with the current setup I have:

1. Would this be possible to fix with a different offset pulley?
2. Possibly a single pulley? With a different offset or will it be that much of a effect
3. Are there any other shimming suggestions or tricks I may be overlooking?

There are some good ideas mentioned in the threads below but no conclusions.

Looking for some advisement to continue with all the great help this site has proved me so far
