I am putting together a 69 camaro with a 350.
I came to the powersteering pump & got stumped.The pump looks like it mounts on one side to the water pump & swivels up & down from there.
But how does it mount on the other side?
I've got a bracket that looks like the right one according to the Classic Industries catalog,but I can't figure it out.The bracket has a threadded hole where I figure it mounts to the pump for belt adjustment,but how does the bracket mount to the block?
Does anyone know of a web site with a picture of a power steering pump mounted to the engine?
Thankyou for your time...Tom

Tom, assuming you are using the standard bracket for a 69 small block, you need the "adjuster bracket" that attaches to "mounting bracket". I believe the adjuster braket mounts to the exhaust manifold, and then to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is what holds the pump.

WOW!
I had no idea! Do you know of any pictures I could find? The bracket I have is about 6 inches long from memory,& has 3 holes.One on one end & then the threaded one fairily close to that.Then on the other end is where the other hole is located.As I recall, this bracket has sort of a bend on one end,but I can't remember which end.I am at work & won't be able to look at it till tonight.
I haven't been able to find any pictures of this set up at all.
Any help is much appericated.
Forgive me for my spelling....Thanks Tom

Here's a 350 with PS pump mounted.....

These are the 2 parts that cradle the pump and then adjust in the long curved hole/slot. Hope this helps along with what ever Joe has too. His pics are better :)

Awesom!!!!
This clues me in!
I do have both brackets.I didn't realize that the long bracket bolted to one of the motor mount bolts.I kept going back to the exaust manifold area scratching my head & wondering!
You guys are life savers!
Thankyou again...Tom

Our pleasure Tom!

Jim, it helps that my engine is still sitting in the corner of the garage. Those pics were taken 2 minutes before I posted them. ;)

Oh, your garage. Considering the cabinets in the background, I thought you might have that engine in your wife's kitchen.

;)
They were a freebie from a place I used to work when it moved locations.
:thumbsup:

I did that so that MAYBE the wife would feel more comfortable in the garage.... maybe helping me.... make her feel more secure about being in 'my domain'.
It didn't work.

And you expected it to work Joe? :beers:

:cool:
Tee Hee!
