Have a 70 Chevelle w/ 454 & long water pump. Ordered new power steering bkts.; cradle, adj. bkt., & hardware. Does not fit right & only one bolt holds to water pump. Could someone send pics., so i know what is right. Thanks.

Bruce,

Catalogs are good reference material.
I used pics from Team Chevelle and info in the GROUND-UP catalog to do my brackets.
Look at pics in my gallery of my engine build. I'll be firing that bad (mostly stock) puppy up in the morning.

Regards,

George

Thanks. Got 70-72 p/s bkts. from Ground Up. 69 p/s bkts. have 3 pcs. & are for long water pump also. Might have to try those if I can't get the 2 pc. bkts. to work.

Thanks for the pics, those are the bkts I have. I'll try harder to get pump on again. Again Thanks.

Great pics Mark. Interesting though. I'm using the spacer on the back.

There may be some differences in the pump mounting surfaces.

Bruce, I'm sure if you have the correct brackets you should be able to make it work.
