Topic: '67 power steering mounting

[socalgt]

Should the upper(long)mounting stud for the power steering pump have enough threads  showing to allow the nut to tighten to the bracket, or should it pivot on the stud even with the nut tightened as far as it will go?

It should tighten all the way down, not loose enough to pivot.

Thanks for the reply...I'll make sure the stud extends past the p.s. pump bracket properly for the nut to tighten against it.

  There should be a couple of threads showing past the end of the nut.  It is a special  nut.  And yes, it is a close fit.

Couple of original examples - sorry can't be more specific since you didn't to include where your car was built or with which engine

Might want to add the info to your signature


Basic locking (some call it aircraft) style nut with no washer which allows it to stay in place. IMHO  snug not really tight as it will go. I break too many bolts that way

The stud has a long threaded end and a shorter threaded end . I believe the design was so the shorter end was" supposed" to go into the block side and bottom out and stop at the end of the shorter thread . With that said I have seen even amounts of the different possible installations to suggest they were installed every which way from my observations.

[socalgt]

That's the problem I had....previous owner installed the stud with the longer threaded end....not leaving enough room on the other end of the stud for the adjusting bracket....had to remove the stud and turn it around.  It was quite a job removing it...finally had to weld a nut on(several times)to get the stud out.

Is the thin bracket that attaches to the rear of the pump( between the pressure hose and the back of the pump) actually a separate piece that can be purchased?

[J_Speegle]

Its a hose locator or others call it a clocking bracket.

Yes it can be purchased if you find someone with a used one. Make sure it fits your year and application. Allot of different ones were made

Might try posting your questions under this section since they almost never seem to "fit" where you placing them

I believe the style you show in the picture is not for 67 but 68 or 69. The 67 style was a strip of reinforcement metal minus the locating aspect from the examples I have observed.

[J_Speegle]

To support and illustrate what Bob was referring to I offer the following pictures of an 67 C code original example

[socalgt]

I see what you mean...I've only seen the '68 locating bracket available at vendors so far.

Merged the two topics since they are so closely related

If your asking if the 68 up locator brackets are being reproduced for a small block I don't believe so. Because of that your left with originals which should number in the tens of thousands out there but you'll need to know what your specific application looks like. They do come up for sale on Ebay from time to time
