Having a problem finding brackets for a power steering pump and alternator. The 283 has no drilled and tapped holes in the front of the heads for brackets. There are 4 tapped holes lower down on the front of the block. I have seen early 60s engines with the power steering pump integral on the back of the generator as one unit but I would rather run the alternator. Are brackets available? I have checked a couple of local boneyards with no luck. Can any of you Bolters that have been through this offer any advice? Most of the catalogs have lots of brackets but how do I know what to order?

I'm not sure the exact years, but it was something like those...
Finding anything from those years in a wrecking yard will be a challenge!

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,132 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,132 | Chevy1 thanks for the reply. Used your link to Alan Grove. It looks like he has all the brackets and pulleys I need although I will probably call him to find out what I need to order.
