Mystery With The Eaton Power Steering Pump

[james tatum]

My mechanic just replaced the Power Steering pump on my '65 289 mustang. The car is a early 54 (Built in April of 65). He simply replaces the pump and bolted back on the reservoir and pulley and remounted the pump. Now the belt is too large and will not engage the pump. I went to NPD and bought each possible PS Belt but still none fit. Any suggestions I want to use OEM parts and tm being pushed to using a belt for another year mustang.

Do you have any pics of how it is mounted ?

If he used the same belt and pulley then he didn't mount it back the same way. Check which bolt holes he used on the heads and weather he removed or loosened other components

Yes pics would be good. If possible of the whole front of the engine.
