Hi. I've got a 67 gtx with a 67 440 (stamped 3-17-67) with power steering. I've got a trw pump on it now. The steering box started leaking so I figured I'd take it out to rebuild it and change to a Saginaw pump while I'm at it. I got one with brackets out of a motor home with a 440 (later 70s).
First issue is that the brackets don't line up with my drivers side outlet water pump housing. The radius of the adjuster slot is smaller on the bracket, or in other words, I need the 2 bracket holes that line up with the front of the water pump housing to be 1/4-3/8" further apart than they are.
2nd issue is that if the brackets were to work, the outlet line on the lower backside of the pump would hit the head, even though it's got a pretty tight 90 bent into the line. Is there some kind of banjo fitting with the strange flare and o-ring that will fit?
I see several sites list Saginaw brackets for a 68 and later 440. Is there a way to get this pump on this engine? Is there a kit that hangs it a little lower?
