So, I feel a little dumb but after pulling and replacing my motor, I can't figure out how to put my power steering pump and bracket back together. I think I've misplaced part of the assembly. It's an '85 with a 300 inline six.

So anyone have a close up pic or willing to take one for me? I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks.

Here's a pic of what I'm working with. I think from the diagram that the smaller bracket on the left is supposed to bolt to the timing cover and the piece on the right was sandwiched with the center piece and bolted to the block. The engine that is in there now didn't have PS so I'm wondering if the '85 block had studs in two places on the timing cover where there are bolts on the current engine. Does that make sense? I'm not running AC either so I think I can ditch the larger center piece.

Mine is slightly diffrent ..Starting at the left .that bracket bolts to the timing cover..Middle bolts to the block 4 distinct bolt bosses.Right bolts to the back 2 holes on top of the middle bracket...(I dont have the middle one as i dont have that accessory.there are 2 aluminum spacers between it and the block on mine in the back 2 holes ...)This is all located on the drivers side of the block closest to the timing gear cover Hope this helps

Awesome, I had misplaced the bracket that bolts to the timing cover and that's why I was so confused. So I either need to make some spacers or cut the top off of the AC bracket and use the bottom half as a spacer.

Now I just need to figure out where to mount the trans cooler I pulled from an '86 so I can use it as a PS cooler. I wanted to do it behind the grill but now I'm thinking to just do it inside the frame rails somewhere. It won't get as much airflow there but it won't get a lot anyway for the slow speed wheeling I want it for.

Thanks everyone.
