That is correct, but I never had a spacer and mine was straight did you "eye" it or did you put a rope/string/belt around it?
Hi Chris,
I eyed it up and placed an oversize v-belt on it and then eyed that up. It definitely looks crooked but I've unassembled everything and next will reassemble everything and install it again and then check it again. I will also go get the right size v-belts for the power steering pump and alternator to check for sure.
The brackets I'm using are the brackets I bought off of eBay as they were all in brand new shape, painted and ready to bolt on. I matched them up to the ones I received from you and they were identical in every way so I'm very confident that the brackets are good brackets, I just think that I have the wrong style pump even though I took the pump you sent me to NAPA and they guys got me the exact same pump only remanufactured and ready to run.
If after re-installing this bracket/pump system if it doesn't look aligned I'm either going to have to get a different pump or find a different set of brackets. Whatever it takes to make it go as this project is running too long and it's now taking up my father/son time go camping and fishing.
So again, if anyone reading this has been down this road and knows of the right pump #number or a set of aftermarket brackets that will fit this standard Chevy power steering pump please feel free to post that information.
