Avantir4 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hey there, I have a 69 Avanti with the 327. I purchased a power steering pump bracket from corvette central after receiving I went out to the garage and went to put it on and the bracket sits to low, the rod coming off the control valve that goes to the bell crank assembly will hit the bracket for the power steering pump. now I am stumped. Has anyone been in my similar situation, and what works. Thanks David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avanti83 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Corvettes tend to mount most accessories low on the engine for hood clearance, I'll bet about any other models bracket should work. If Warren has one, he could send you a picture. Don't forget that on most power steering brackets there is generally a brace that goes to the block also. I'll bet his works. Otherwise you'll need to find one. Ebay used to be a good place but those type of things are getting harder to find. I probably also have one but won't be able to access my storage for a week or so. If you have swap meets close by, I'll bet you can find a few. As an aside, if you change pumps you will probably need to replace the reservoir on the new one with the one on your current pump as the one outlet position is important. It's an easy job.

Avantir4 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks I will look into one for a 72 caprice that Warren was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren55 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I found a reservoir for a 73 Nova 6 cylinder works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren55 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 If this works, this should be a picture of the correct bracket. https://goo.gl/photos/GG5kXGPRcQJTX7KP8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
