Need up to date info on P/S bracket and systems for 230 L6

[MacbreSkull]

Hey guys, sorry to do this, but I've been reading old threads for two days now and I have yet to find a cost effective way to put power steering on my 64 230 L6 motor. I can't afford the kits that ecklers or brothers has, and I honestly haven't seen any of the cars with the same motors that might have the option in them I could transplant.
I even thought what about parts stores having the car parts for said cars, and no dice.
Please help!? I'm finishing up wiring and wanna do the power steering so I can have this pretty girl as a daily driver when I'm not on the bike. Thanks a million! In advance

I dealt with the same issue on my 1965 equipped with a 292. I ended up using brackets from Davis Speed Equipment (available on ebay), and power steering components from a 1971 C10 (matched the parts I used for the disc brake swap). Overall, the hardest part for me was getting the pulleys aligned for all of the accessories (running A/C) as well. Fortunately I was able to use a dual groove short v8 water pump pulley and dual belt power steering pump pulley to make it work. In general, the Davis Speed kit has a lot of adjustability to get things aligned.

The eBay seller you are referring to I can not find. If you have a link to the seller or even one of their items that would be great.

Thank you for that suggestion, but he only has items for the 235 which is different

You might try to contact Armstrong Power Steering, but I don't know if they are still in business.

Here is a link to a current auction for a power steering bracket for the 230. This isn't the exact kit I used since I am running a 292 but I was impressed by their products, the hardware, and included instructions.

I am having problems posting a link so copy the following address into a new browser window.

Subscribed... I need some info on the PS brackets for a 66 with a 250 6 cyl. From the little bit of reading I have done, I think they are the the same as the 230.

Heard they are still around in the salvage yards if you get luck enough to find them.
