Power Steering Problem 72 GMC - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well folks seems every day I get a bit dumber.

I have a PS set up for my 72 GMC. Box, pittman arm, pump small water pump brackets, new hoses, pulleys. So today I decide to see how much of a problem I will have.

So I decide to bolt up the power steering pump and bracket and pulleys and start looking at alignment etc.

Tried to bolt up the cradle for the PS Pump and top bolt is fine, bottom off 1/2 inch or so from the hole due to it banging the balancer. Put a measure on the balancer and the diameter is eight inches. So I would guess my brackets are wrong? or should I go to a six inch balancer?

Any ideas?

Here is a pic of brackets and the bracket hitting balancer:
