Red 409 63 impala
Well Known Member
I am building up my 63 with all the accessory pulleys and items mounted on the block. The power steering pump when mounted in the bracket does not pivot well to allow belt adjustment. If it's moved slightly away from the block it pivots fine. My first idea was to put washers between the block and the mount for the pump, I noticed Show Cars sells three different shims to address this situation. Have others noticed this ? Seems like GM made this arrangement poorly.
