Just modify your existing bracket and use a spacer to take up the distance between the thickness of the manifold vs the header flange. You can buy aftermarket brackets too.

when i put my headers on [my 82] i went to the junkyard, found a couple different brackets, brought them home and started sizing them up to fit.    i had to cut a piece off one bracket and weld it on to the other to make it work, but the pump stays nice and tight.  when i had headers on my 73, i was able to put a metal pipe in (i think it was 1/2") on top of tthe header flange to make up the difference of the manifolds to headers, never had any problems.

 It's embarasing how quickly my engine compartment went to heck once I started to drive it daily but if you look you will see the power steering bracket spacer.
 On any small block I've ever put headers on I just get a longer bolt and cut a section of pipe to use as a spacer.

whell i started to jury rig it but it ust looked awfulll so i took viles advice and bought the bracket, i got to thinkin im goina need it any way if i get a 350 down the road, while i had sumit on the line i whent ahead and got some 90 degree plug wires and looms ( any good  picks on how you guys ran your plug wires with looms ? )

[VileZambonie]

I usually get custom fit wires and run them parallel along and behind the valve cover. One thing you want to try to do is cross over adjacent firing wires like 5 and 7 before you route them to the cap. this helps reduce rfi and emi.
