it bolts on the drivers side of the motor on a goofy looking bracket. I think it is supposed to hold the power steering and A/c, not sure but it looks weird. hope that helps, in some weird way

Yup, SKS is right...beat me to it again......Drivers side, on the top half of the motor.

they are correct on its location there are to brackets involved one bolts to the front of the bolck the other is the weird looking one that goes from the back of the pump to the exhaust manifold bolt first bolt on the drivers side i beleive the one on the block is a 3/8 16 thread not sore of the lenght

thanks for the info, i must be missing a braket i'll have to go an look at it again.

[sks52587]

sure thing

[d-z28]

let us know how it goes

[mac3982]

didn't work goin to the junk yard to look at some parts, was goin to go with the march system for the new motor anyway.

[sks52587]

yea, thats what I am gonna do to, that or powder coat them so they look really nice

[mac3982]

well that was a waste of 15 dollars(for the lower bracket) an it still doesn't fit. if anbody can post a pitcure of the pump an or how the brackets come into play i'd be thank full. see my next post about the wires.

[mac3982]

march does a "cost reduced" pully & bracket set for about 350 dollars. its air craft alloy then powder coated a cast color.

[sks52587]

I will get a picture later on today man.

[sks52587]

alright, back with pics like promised.




Hope that helps, I took a couple of different angles to show what it is. It looks like there is another part where a compressor would bolt up, but I removed it.
