Re: Problems aligning power steering pump with crank
This looks exactly like my engine (in form, not beauty!). The power steering, crank, and water pump setup looks exactly like mine. I also have the same power steering bracket that you have. What is the difference between this bracket and the original? I suppose the original bracket was cast iron and weighed a ton. I have been trying to do this power steering original, but I may have my limits.
Nice looking engine. Was this the stock color for a GMC (327?) Thanks |

Re: Problems aligning power steering pump with crank
I cant tell exactly what you have but from the factory on a 1966 Chevy it used 2 stamped steel brackets, a cradle and an adjuster. My setup is a cast iron cradle and some steel brackets, l I think this setup actually started in 1969 ? I needed it to clear the large 400 balancer. Your crank pulleys are all different as you've already shown, they are offset more out than mine.
GMCs had either a V6 ( mine did originally ) or a straight six. V6 GMCs were reddish orange so I painted my 400 SB similar in just Chevy Orange. Your 327 in a 1966 Chevy truck was green ( referred to as Alpine Green ) and 283s grey.
