: 67 power steering pump mounting, a tight fit or upsidedown?

Hi all, I'm a bit confused or just need to modify this thing. My power steering pump that mounts just below the Alt is a tight fit. Actually touches the Alt mounting bracket, and the hose that goes to the remote resivor in the front on the radiator mount is kinked because it is a 90 deg bend up to it.
I was wondering if I have the pumnp mounted inverted? It can only go one other way and that seems like a tight fit as well.
Does the hose to the remote resivor come off the top or the bottom of the pump? That will tell me if I screwd this up or not.
Car is in a build and came gutted, manual doesn't show a clear detail.

Thanks for any help, happy FRIDAY :hurray:

The pipe to the remote reservior should be on top.

Thanks Rich,

I guess I need to find a molded hose to make the bend to the remote, or figure another way around the current mounting position.
Thanks again for your help.
