Might sound dumb, but I almost have my rebuilt 318 back together (and tranny) and with all that has been going on, I have two blank spots in my mind. (1970 Plymouth 318 cu....was an A/C car)

1st: Does anybody have a picture of the power steering pump brackets/set up. I think I have it on correctly, but want to confirm.

2nd: The motor and tranny are back in the engine bay, but I have two brackets that are from under the engine or tranny or both that are about 12" long. They are v shaped for strength, like angle iron, but I can't figure out where they go! Sounds totally stupid I know. I have everything back on except that and laying up under the car I'm going, "Hmmmm???" How stupid is that? Don't answer that...but if you would, could you suggest what they are for? I was thinking to help hold the tranny, but both the tranny and engine have motor mounts of course to allow for torque so hard bolting either to the frame wouldn't be logical. Maybe they secure the engine to the tranny and not to the frame? I know that sounds so stupid. I'll look more, but thought maybe you guys could help. (I'm embarrassed to ask, but my head is spinning a bit with all the stuff that I've been doing not only on the car, but other projects.) Thanks. Chris.

#2 question,these go from the side of engine(right above pan rail)down to trans, there is a hole in inspection cover for it to bolt to on the bottom of trans. one on each side.sounds hard,just hold it up there and see where it lines up. hope this helps

Dodge33: Thanks so much, I figured as much, but need to look closer. I've been pressured time wise on this and need to slow down a bit. Thanks for the info!

Anybody else post a quick pick of your power steering pump set up? Thanks guys. Chris.

I see you have a '70.
I have some pic's of 78 and a 68 but I am not at my computer right now. Would either of these help?

I'd like to see the 68 setup!!

Yes, I'd love to see the 1968 set up too. If you can post the pics, we'd appreciate it! Thanks to all who helped. Chris.

Here is the setup off of my 360 from a 74 Dodge Van, Not the best angle but something. (The bracket is not in the right place)

Finadk: Thanks. This helps somewhat, but BoogieArt do you have a pic of your '68? I'm looking to see the down angle on the pic to see the front and back brackets and where they are attached to the block. Thanks! Chris.

I have the pump in a box in my garage. I will take somte pics later and post them.

This is a setup from a 74 dodge van with a 360.
Hope it helps.
