Is this the alt bracket you have?
I keep getting booted off the net so I couldn't get the power steering pump info.
If you end up at a u-pull-it, get EVERYTHING associated with it-- nuts, bolts, washers, spacers, etc. & don't lose them!! LOL!!

No it's March performance bracket. I ended up using half of the supplied bracket with a bbc bracket I was able to find at a junk yard. I don't like the look of it but I just want to get the darn thing running then ill work on making it pretty.

The PS bracket I purchased is part number 20150-09-
March Performance Front Mounted Power Steering Brackets 20150-09 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing
I'm getting stuck at the first bolt. Instructions say that for older pumps may require to drill out make it bigger but there are threads in there and I bought the water pump new from summit. How is it going to stay put if I drill them out. Instructions don't go into detail. This will be another question for them.

I'll post a pic of what I'm talking about once I get to my comp. and learn how.
I do appreciate the insight!!! This project has been sitting long enough.
