hey everyone i just got another 3rd gen cammy, and this ones an 84 z-28, the engines awesome, the guy i got it from, got it on a trade, and he didnt know much about the engine, but its a 350 bored 30 over, its got headers dual hooker exaust, edelbrock performer intake, ya know all the good stuff, but this engine wasnt original with the car and it doesnt have a power steering pump, so therefore no power steering at all, the see the mounting holes but i dont know if any one for a carbed 350 would work.

Also how do i tell what this engine is from and what year it is, where is the number and where do i look it up to find out all of this, thanks alot for any responses, jason

 

They all work, but the question is will they fit. Try to get one for your model & year car. Don't forget, you will also have to change the steering gear.

 

why would you have to change the steering gear? just out of curiosity?

 

Manual steering and power steering have different steering mechanisms. If the car has a power steering box, then no changes are needed. However, he said he had no power steering at all, which to me meant manual steering.I guess he will figure it out.

 

ahh ok i got you, you had me worried that i was gonna have to swap out my steering box lol

 

well since he has an 84 he should have power steering. Does the box have two places to thread in lines? Maybe a hose on it looped or plugs.

 

wow thanks for all the help guys, but it doesnt seem like i will have any problem with anything else on the steering, i just need to buy a pump and i want to make sure its the right one, and i was wondering how to identify the engine to mak sure i get the right pump, oh and yes to answer questions, it does have all the power steering setup i just dont have the pump, when i said that i didnt have power steering i misworded it, what i meant was while im driving it, there is no power steering because there is no pump, sorry guys, oh well thanks alot for all the help already, you guys are awesome

 

If you have the bracket just buy a pump for a 84 Z28. The pumps are the same. The tanks are different. On your application it would mostly be due to where the return line points to. And does it have the original V belts or a later serpintine. And Usualy when you get a pump they will come with a long bolt, washers and nut to press the pully on with
