Manual to power steering conversion?
I am attempting to convert a 1972 C10 2wd from manual to power steering. I have so far replaced the crankshaft pulley from a single sheeve to a triple sheeve pulley. I have ordered and assembled an after market power steering pump bracket and a reman pump and a pulley for it.
The problem I'm having is when I assemble and mount the bracket to the mounting holes in the small block with the pump also installed into this bracket and then run the existing separate v belt back to the alternator it rubs on the lower bracket mounting bolt head of the after market bracket. There is no way that I can see where to get any more clearance for the Alternator v belt. I could possibly relocate the Alternator some but that would mean customizing it's mounting bracket. That might give the V belt a different angle and more clearance but not for sure. So just wondering if anyone out there has done this type of conversion and has had this problem and would have any ideas. Thanks |
