Re: Power steering pumps (how mundane...)

A: Most of the time now rebuilt pumps come without a pulley as you are 
expected to reuse your old one. I have had good luck with spacers to move 
the pumps, etc outwards or cutting and rewelding OEM brackets thinner. NAPA 
has a small line of new pulleys available, but pretty much just the most 
common.

See, this is the stuff that makes you crazy with jamming engine A
into chassis B...

I need to buy a power steering pump. I have a rebuilt 1970 pump,
which is pretty much the same except for mounting stud length (too
short) and pulley offset.

* The one I have puts the belt into the accessory pulley.
* I need one that puts the belt into harmonic balancer groove.

I am using a 1977 Hornet/Gremlin belt layout (A/C and alt on
right, P.S. on left). I'm hoping that when I order a 1977 Gremlin
pump it comes with the right pulley offset.

Does anyone have any knowledge here about power steering pump


pulley offsets?
