    P/S & water pump driven by inner groove on lower pulley, alternator by center or first.

    You have wrong pulley(offset), appears to be 6cyl.

    Looks like the PS pulley is on backwards and that non factory bracket has the pump too far forward. The correct SBF brackets are easy to find, you need the bracket that attaches to the pump and head, and pump to WP adjustment bracket. You can see them both in Tom's picture.

    The 6 cyl pulleys have a inverted offset, matches forward groove on pulley.

    Right pulley wrong p/s bracket. also the alternator pulley is wrong, should be single groove. dont forget the spacer behind the p/s pump also!
    back this horse cart up! you need the bracket on the pump itself also! thats why it looked so off!
    bracket d1za-3c511-ab
    pump bracket D0AZ-3A732-C
    Couldn't locate the part number for the spacer.

    Supposedly the spacer has a base number of xxxxx but I didn't find it in Master Parts.

    EDIT

    Actually base part number is 3D600. For '70/'71 & '72 Mustang/Maverick 302 should be this one. Spacer is 9/16" thick.

    I'm glad this came up, my Comet has stack of washers inside large heat shrink.
