Power steering
I have both pumps(saginaw and one with round resivor and oval neck) and two sets of brackets one pump was bolted to each
No spacers on P/S brackets
Looks like one goes between the brackets and betwwnthe back half of the bracket and the timing cover
Can you tell me the lentghs and dia. of these and are suppost to be more
One (about 3/4" thick) goes between the bottom rear bracket and the side of the block. The other is tubular and goes over the bottom of the two studs on the front cover.

Two different alt. brackets---
1. goes over the valve cover and ties to the bottom section which attaches to the head bolt and looks like it needs spacers behind it to bolt to the head
2. bolts to the head and intake(top half) and exhaust front hole, P/S bracket and has a long skinny bracket that comes off the front hole on this bracket
Cast A/C brackets--half goes over the vavle cover and half bolts to the head
Have the front and rear brackets for the A-6 compressor
Thanks again Rick
Get a factory service manual. It will show the correct type and orientation of the brackets. Note that the alternator brackets come in two flavors, A/C (alt on the driver's side) and non-A/C (passenger side). Also, as I noted before, Toro brackets are different from RWD brackets.

By the way, the 350 and 455 brackets are exactly the same. Were required due to the deck height differences, the brackets have two sets of holes.
