Steering help. 1969 Camaro engine in a CJ7
Hello, I am looking for some help with a Jeep CJ7 I recently aquired. Please don't turn away just yet!
I looked up the numbers on the head mating surface and found this engine to be a 350 from a 1969 Camaro with a manual transmission.
Anyways, the PO or whoever did the conversion, "made things work".
I am looking to you folks to see what exactly I have in terms of power steering brackets. It seems I have two different types from two different vehicles.
Here's what I have...
Did all Camaro heads from the late 60's come without bolt hole provisions? I've seen other 350 heads with bolt holes for additional brackets.
Here's the other bracket that I pulled off. It worked but made the belt and pulley misaligned with the rest of the assembly. I tried to cut it and reweld it to align it up but it didn't work.
I'm assuming that this bracket came from a later model car or truck. It looks like it has been bent and hammered on to "work".
Can y'all help a fella out and let me know what I got wrong and right. I can't afford one of the those aftermarket ones that bling.
Thanks in advance. I hope I'm not to much trouble!
