'75 Power Steering Pump Bracket
So I'm trying to realign the power steering pump on my new '75 and it appears the PO didn't bolt the bracket to the block. Anyone know what size bolt I need? Also any tips on getting it attached? It's in a tough spot.

well there are two bolts holding it to the block.....two long ones that go through the bracket that is mounted to the motor mount. are you saying that the bracket that attaches to the motor mount is not attached? does the motor mount have a bolt in there or is it left open? thats a pain in the *** to mount... if it has bolt in it you may get lucky and it will slip into place, if not loosen all the motor mount bolts and use a long drift to line up the holes and have at it. put the car on jack stands so you can under it and it may be easier, also take out the alternator it just makes it that much easier... be careful not to strip the threads

Thanks for the responses. It is the single bolt that mounts the end of the bracket to the block. The pulley is not aligned and I'm guessing that once I mount the bracket end it will align better.

Well turns out the PO busted the bolt head off to get the bracket off, so there's no way for me to set the end of the bracket. I'll leave it alone for now and think about it again some other day.
