Power steering brackets for BB in my '83..HELP
« on: July 19, 2010, 08:51:31 am »
I need some help with my power steering brackets.. We are putting a 402BB in my '83 GMC. Are these the right brackets. I thought we had all we needed but I think we will need to buy some more. I have attached pics of the p/s pump and brackets. Need some help to get this assembled.  If anyone has any pics or info, please share.

It's hard to see what's on the front of the pump now, but it does not look right (second pic) . All you need is the brackets in pic 1 and 3 and 2 3/16" or 1/4" spacers for the front backet. You'll have to get the pulley off and replace the bracket on there with the one from pic 3 and the spacers. Then that will nestle right in with the backet in pic 1.

clear as mud :)

sorry, never was able to get a good pic of the assembly, It's impossibe to see with the A6 compressor right on top. Hope someone else can help.

A couple of washers may be all the space you need, just need to watch the pulley clearance.
