Power steering bracket???

[MatteMan]

Hello

I have bought me a 302 engine from 1972 for my -67 mustang.
And the problem is that I was thinking to take the power steering pump from my 260 engin but I don´t think the bracket won´t fit.

I have this bracket now: http://www.mustangunlimited.com/itemdy01.asp?T1=7C511+01&Category=&catkey=emustang But I can´t find any bracket that will fit on a -72 302 engine.

So my question is where can I find a bracket that will fit?

Thanks,
Mattias

No one having an idea?

the PS pump from your 260 is a bracket for an Eton PS Pump will not work for a saginaw PS Pump, Get the bracket that you saw on e-bay and get a 67 saginaw pump and hoses

So the only thing to do is to buy a new power steering pump?
Can I really not use my eaton pump?
So all 72 mustang using a saginaw pump and bracket?

Is there really no bracket that will work on a eaton pump and fit a -72 302 engine?

Have you tried installing what you have Now? I have an Eton Pump complete with brackets and all, and it does not look like it will fit, I Might be wrong though?

I made my eaton bracket out of 1 in flat steel. Works great.

eBay is a good place for this kind of stuff.

it may be because the 72 engine has a drivers side water pump?, the earlier cars had a pass side water pump, the ps steering bracket is different on 70 and up cars because of that, and bosses on WP's are different. I would say if you changed waterpumps you should be able to use all your old brackets.

That should do it, I forgot about the water pump, swithing outlet sides

Yes that should do it, but the problem is that my other waterpump from my 260 engine don´t fit on the 302 engine...

Can you buy a waterpump for a -72 302 cu in. with the outlet on the passenger side?
