Power steering HELP!!!


ChrisM

Recommended Posts

Ok guys, I can't seem to figure this out 100%.

 

I have a 1970 monte Carlo, I have a 396 big block, bored 30 over (402).

 

I have a power steering pump which I was told was right for my application. I have two sets of brackets, and neither work. I have attached photos.

 

The black brackets are the two piece design for a long water pump, it makes the pump sit out way to far to make the belt line up.

 

Steel brackets are a three piece, which now sits my pump up against the steering box.

 

I know there are two different styles of pumps, one that I have (pictured) and one with a skinny neck for the resivor, do I just have the wrong pump?

 

Anyone have any ideas, or someone that has a 396 in their monte that can help me? Thanks everyone

Chris, The aftermarket brackets came with a whole aluminum kit I bought off ebay. The kit came with pulleys, alternator and power steering brackets, alternator, power steering pump and water pump. You can buy just the power steering brackets also. Only thing is the kit did not come with any directions. Had to figure out how the brackets went on....no fun! The black brackets were on a mid 80's 454. 

What you could do is do a search on ebay and look for Chevy big block power steering pump brackets.
