Power Steering bracket for Edelbrock heads and tall valve covers
Mocking up brackets today on a 455 rebuild. I could probably get away with the stock alternator brackets but the stock power steering are a ‘no-go’. Anyone have a part number of the low mount brackets and pump I’m going to have to change to? Thanks in advance.
Original power steering pump and brackets from a 1967 CS. Does not fit with tall valve covers. Tight but should work.
All 1968-1990 PS pump brackets are dimensionally equivalent and put the pump in the same low-mount location, so any of them will work. Naturally, don't forget the two spacers.
Joe, Thanks for the response. I found this currently on e-Bay The setup is off of a 1970 Oldsmobile 98 with a 455.
That will work. You will need the two stud-bolts for the front cover and the two spacers that go between the bracket and the block. Inline, OPGI, and others sell a kit with all that mounting hardware if you prefer.
When I did my 66 I had to cut off part of lower bracket to clear the steering box. Frame was checked and it was fine I was told Gm widened the frame rails for clearance starting in 68.

That is correct. The 64-67 frames are about 1.5" narrower at the crossmember than the 68-72 frames. That's why the early cars used the high-mount PS pump and also why it's tough to find correct headers for the early cars.
This going to be really helpful. Most cost effective price I can find.
Thanks Nick and Joe. Inline Tube has it at the most cost effective price and a schematic too.
