    Mabe I've got the wrong power steering pump bracket???....Please Help!!!

    I'm tring to get my steering hooked back up now that the engine swap is done. I cant seem to get the pump lined up right. I think I may have saved the wrong steering pump bracket (from the I6). Does anyone have a pic of the correct bracket for a 302? A picture of the pump inside the car would also be helpful.
    Thanks alot:) ,
    Dan

    The bracket I'm using does'nt look like that but niether does the pump. The 302 i'm using is from a '76. I'll try to get a pic of what I have posted and then mabe someone will be able to advise me. Untill then, does anyone know of a pic already on the board that shows a pump in a car? or can someone post one for me please?
    Thank you very very much.:)

    I think you might be right. There's something funny about the spacer thats on it now. Its that angled piece with holes that goes from the head to the bracket where it is welded. Something doesnt seem factory about it and it doesnt hold the pump pully at the correct angle.:(
    Can someone please take a look at their's and let me know or post a pic.
    Thanks,
    Dan
