not yet worked on my 52. maybe this weekend. I'm hoping if I trim the metal I'll be able to get them off. Now I know why some people have fancy dump beds.

daverod · 04-10-2011, 12:37 AM

Did a lot of head scratching. Somthing so easy for some.

I don't things don't line up right? Maybe the wrong pulley on the crank? Does the belt for the steering pump go around the crank?

bubba327 · 04-10-2011, 12:51 AM

Looks like your PS pump could be farther back to line up better with the back pulley on the crank . How does the alternator line up??
mine has the belt on the crank back slot , water pump and the PS pump. The alternator drives from the front slot on the crank and the front slot on the water pump.
Use a straight edge or a wood board to line things up. I will clamp a board to a pulley if I am fabbing up brackets and want to stay in alignment.

daverod · 04-10-2011, 12:59 AM

Its back as far as it goes.Alt. lines up with front grove. The power steering pump has a rear bracket that mounts to the motor mount. It's were it needs to be.??? More head scratching.

**Captainfab** · 04-10-2011, 01:04 AM

The problem is that you have a power steering pump and brackets for the shor water pump. Your engine has the long water pump, and the alternator is of course in position for the long water pump. You'll need to get a PS pump for a long water pump application....'73 and up truck, or '69 and up car. With the long water pump, the PS pump hangs from the water pump from that boss below the lower bolt. Then there are brackets that bolt to the front of the head, and over to the front header bolt. There are some variations to that, but that is the basics. Probably best if you could get everything from a donor vehicle.

daverod · 04-10-2011, 01:11 AM

I also have this pump but I couldn't figure out how to hang it. I had two different engines and things kinda got mixed up. I'll try again in the morning. Hope you have some of those brackets made Capt time gettin closer.

Bungee cord???

daverod · 04-10-2011, 01:15 AM

Least now I kinda know the problem. I work better with pictures.

allaboutchevelles · 04-10-2011, 06:59 PM

Hey Dave, I had the same problem when lining up my pulleys. I went to an old junk yard and took all the pulleys off a 283 truck that looked origional and got home and they didnt line up on my motor. I bought some shims off ebay to set the crank pulleys out about 1/8 inch and then eveything lined up perfect. I can get you some pics if you want.

hotroddr · 04-10-2011, 07:22 PM

Ran outside and snapped a picture for you. Here is how your long water pump power steering pump should mount.

daverod · 04-10-2011, 10:10 PM

You are the man.

Just when I was all depressed. I pulled everything apart and had things everywhere.

Guess I'll have to keep better track of parts. Here I thought a 350 was a 350. da

Looks like I need to find that little mounting bracket. Thanks Bud.

daverod · 04-12-2011, 09:42 PM

10 boxes an a hour later. wola

thanks guys puts me that much closer.

daverod · 04-12-2011, 11:50 PM

We are gonna have to go to Portland swap meet someday.
My uncle spent two days there and did not see it all.
He said he was not looking at every booth either . It is supposed to be Huge!!

daverod · 04-13-2011, 12:04 AM

When is that?

**Captainfab** · 04-13-2011, 01:45 AM

It was a couple of weeks ago. I think they still have one in the Fall, but I don't think it is as big as the one in the Spring.

Strodder · 04-13-2011, 03:49 PM

You guys forgot about Allan. He has a 59 dash also.

daverod · 04-13-2011, 04:19 PM

Allan?

He's still workin on that truck? I've seen a few with that dash. Guy with a 50's truck even has one. I was gettin an idea. Then I said no. The 52 is on the fast track.Well, fast for me.

Strodder · 04-13-2011, 10:11 PM

I have an extra gauge console for a 57 Chevy Belair. I wonder if I could make it work in my 65 dash. Do ya think it can be done.?

bubba327 · 04-12-2011, 11:54 PM

Swap meets are where unfinished projects are passed on to others.
Who just might not finish them either!!

ruffrida2005 · 04-13-2011, 10:32 PM

You need to have a little spacer between the head and mount. There is a metal peice that goes between the exhaust flange and the mount.

For like $50 you can get a new mount off summit that's a lot better.
