if he goes that route like you, i would get a hydroboost reservoir and cap off the extra return and then have the cap placed higher and closer to the fender a bit and it would look ok I think

So that’s a good question-looks like my pump is leaking a bit. What is hydroboost? They asked me what kind I have and honestly- just looks like a teardrop style with two lines, one pressure and one return.


Edit: I looked it up. It’s for power brakes for engines without vacuum.

That looks nice! I like the look of the raw steering pump too.

the old corvettes and Camaros use the double hump heads. The bolted to the outside edge of the block. Any corvette Camaros restoration may have them. I think I’ve got the brackets in my shop somewhere. Anyway it’s 2 brackets. Very easy to install. I cant look this weekend. I’m flying to camp lejuene. Be back on Monday but got to be back at work so next Friday (Dec. 9)that I will be back in the shop and I will look for them.

66,67,68 maybe more I don’t remember. Any other Chevrolet cars running the higher hp 327 will have the same double hump heads with the same power steering set up. Most of your late 60s model designated “SS”

They ran double humps into the early 70s on the lt1 Motors. The double hump part is irrelevant what is relevant is pre 69,for cars pre 73 for trucks The short water pump cars didn't have bolt holes no matter what heads were on it. So they had different brackets.

Yes, the only reason I said so is the hydroboost reservoir is slightly larger capacity, would sit the "cap" slightly higher and slightly closer to the fender(relative to the one there now) and the reservoir has an extra return port. The extra fluid never hurts and the other features are really just QOL not essential, but worth it if you had to ever replace a seal or something.

@Mark Jones Hey Mark, can you help Chad? What year and model is your P/S pump bracket from? Thanks.
!972 Nova power steering brackets, and alternator brackets, 1969 Z/28 pulleys. Works flawless, and I run it hard.

The bolt threads into a nut behind the alternator, I use 2 brackets tig welded together for extra strength. You can actually see this in the first picture if you look hard. NO------------problem.
