Hey all, active over on 1969stang forum but this one may need some help from more people with knowledge of the pre 69 and post 70 Mustangs.
I need some help with power steering brackets, etc. I am putting a 68 289 into a 1970 Mustang.
I already have a good rebuilt 1968 PS pump and a 69 front steel PS bracket (3C511-351W).
I need to use the 1970+ water pump so the inlet is on the drivers side to match the RAD. The 69 bracket looks to have the incorrect bolt flange spacing and offsets to work with this water pump.
I also cant use the 1970 'power steering pump adjusting bracket' because I am not using the special 1970 only pump.
I cant tell from pictures I have found, but is a 68 pump with the smaller centered outlet the same as a 71-73 pump? I know the return port location changed, but I can deal with that.
My thoughts are to switch to a 71-73 front bracket and adjusting bracket IF the 68 pump will mount in it.
Thanks!
