Power steering pump question
03/09/11 at 12:00pm

I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with mounting a stock power steering pump on a '78 or '79 Monte Carlo. I put a 350in engine in and now the power steering pump pulley is going to hit the steering box. Is there a year Chevy ( or other model) that mounts the pump higher or lower?? I have to run a stock pump, or otherwise I would get the aftermarket bolt to the head unit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Good reading...keep it up!
