Title: Power steering bracket help:
Post by: Stewart G Griffin on July 04, 2015, 08:40:13 am

Ok, i've forgotten to take pictures or make a drawing.

Could you post/walk me thru a step-by-step for re-assembling the power steering brackets?

This is for gen 1 small block---circa 76ish to 87 ish on the lower driver's side.

i have all the parts and actually this is for a 4.3 v-6, but it's the same as an 8 but you already knew that.....

There are two different styles. Take a pic of said parts.

i think this gets me into the ballpark:

i'll save the picture for future reference.

The lower "j" bracket goes on first, followed by the "wishbone" bracket on the exhaust manifold, then the flat bracket bolts to the head.
