WOW thanks for the pics, I just bought another 85 C-10 and the power steering bracket it leaning back towards the engine, and not lining up with the A/C compressor now I have a reference point...

Re: Need a Pic of the Power steering pump an brackets on a 78 c10

Well, I got it all on! I did find another problem with this engine. Well not really the engine but more like JEGS. I couldn't get the alternator bracket to line up because the Air Gap intake raises the bolt position. I went to buy a new bracket but all of the ones at the parts stores are for gen1 350's. They don't work on Vortc heads (no one told me that). I also found out that the carberator brackets don't work either. Because the head bolts are streight up and down and not at an angle like my old 350. I ending up cutting the stock alternator bracket and used a spacer to get the alternator lined up, and Pepboys had the right linkage brackets. All I got to do now is change out the trans pan gasket (it leaked as soon as we put fluid in it) hook up the linkage and rig up an exhaust system. Then I can run it around the block! I'll be posting a vid in the other thread. I'll post a link here. Thanks alot for all your help guys.
