Anybody who has clear pictures of their cars power steering setup with short water pump and remote reservoir (preferably headers) I am converting to this setup and would like to see some photos of the cradle and adjustor brackets if at all possible. Thanks in advance, Jason.

Thanks!!! :thumbsup: Jason.

I went many years with a fabricated "cradle" bracket that permited a pump/reservoir (small block) set up to be used with the short water pump, finally breaking down and buying the correct pieces off eBay last winter. I believe that the seller may have additional units, as the pump housing leaked and it was promptly replaced. I think he was in Texas, I could probably provide a email address or a picture of the fabricated version if your interested. OPG and some of the others offer the whole set up as well.
Post back or PM if interested.

Jason, What year is your car? The reservoir brackets are different for all 3 years '66-'68.

1967, the problem Im running into is the length of the spacer people are using with the headers. Ive tried about 5 different setups (lengths of bolts, spacers, washers etc. ) with the adjustor bracket, but somethings just not right. The pump I got is correct and came with about a half inch spacer with one of the bolts, I am guessing that has something to do with it. I guess I might have to go to the local cruises and search for a 67 BBC with factory PS and headers. This thing is driving me crazy. Repop brackets might be an issue? Thanks in advance. Jason.

Take a measurement off a stock manifold, and subtract the thickness of your header flange. That would be the spacer length you would need. Also, You have to take into consideration whether you are using the stock manifold bolt or a new regular bolt, as the stock bolt would have the additional thickess of a bolt head to add the the overall length. If you are using a regular bolt, then you also have to add in the thickness of a bolt head to the spacer:
