Tech Question
Randy Courtwright, Springfield, IL, 1966 Dodge Charger, 400
I am putting a 400 into my Charger and I was wondering if you have any pictures of the power steering pump brackets for a non a/c motor. Also would you know were I could get these brackets. I would appreciate your help greatly. Thank you. Randy Courtwright
Randy, P.S. brackets, on V-8 engine cars, in all cases / all years, are the same with and without A/C. It's the year-to-year differences that will drive you nuts!
Trying to mix and match pulleys and brackets from different year setups is a futile effort. One glance at the parts catalogs and you'll know why - there were literally hundreds of permutations. Yes, you might luck out, but, in my experience, the only sure-fire way is to find a complete, stock, assembled engine, and take all the brackets and pulleys. The engine can be basically any year, as long as it's the same "family". About the only thing you might want to be aware of is that the crank pulley changed from a nonsymmetrical to a symmetrical bolt pattern in 1972. But post/pre-'72 swaps simply require that one bolt hole in the crank pulley be elongated with a rat-tail file.
Hoffman's Winners Circle has a great line of repro pulley and brackets, and March Performance has CNC aluminum stuff.
