Power steering bracket with headers help!!

It's probably been covered a bunch before, but I can't find any info. I have a 83 shortbed and I have a 350 that I put shorty headers on and I'm having problems with the stock power steering brackets. Not sure what to do. I also forgot how it went on there haha. Any info would be awsome, and pics would be choice!! Thanks!!

Re: Power steering bracket with headers help!!

the bracket has a hole that goes to the cilinder head, one to the water pump and other to the exhaust manifold or the first hole on that area... i used a spacer when i installed headders.

Re: Power steering bracket with headers help!!

I bought the accesory from LMC but installed my headers before the part came in. I put one of the old maniflod studs where the bracket mounted and used the old manifold "washers" as spacers. i think 6 worked perfect. 2 weeks with this set up and it works well enough that I have not installed the bolt and spacer from LMC. My 86 has AC and i had to cut part of that bracket off. My headers are Flow tech brand and they came with a pattern for trimming the AC bracket. If you dont have a better answer, I will be able to post a picture in a day or 2.
