1965, L6 292 Engine Power Steering Pump Set-Up
Have reviewed and reviewed posts for which years you can use to add an original looking power steering pump set-up to a 1965 292 engine. This is a question not an answer. Is it correct to say the brackets, pulleys, pump, etc. need to be from a 1973 or older 292 engine only?
This is my take from many post such as those by "71 SWB 4X4" and others. Thank you for your patience as I know their have been many, many posts on this subject. There are reported interference issues with using PS from 1974, and newer 292 on the older engines. Les |

Re: 1965, L6 292 Engine Power Steering Pump Set-Up
OK, Parts book is stating 1963-1971 on the six cylinder main bracket 3877430 then 63-71 support bracket 3891598. It just states 6 cylinder, not clearly 292
67-72 292 bracket 3914992 Again not clear but heres the pages from the parts book. ![]() ![]()

Here is a pre 1973 292 setup that was on ebay a while back. Pay particular attention to alternator, water pump and crankshaft pulleys used for proper belt alignment.

That looks like the exact setup I posted pics of still installed on the engine.

Re: 1965, L6 292 Engine Power Steering Pump Set-Up
Sig, your setup is from the 67-72 vintage, not saying at all it wont work, but I can see the inner fenders etc. Great pictures and info Sig.
Im curious now about the correct or originals for 63-66. The pulley on my setup is odd the way it sticks out but I have another factory 63 292 setup with the same pulley . I have more brackets I need to get out and compare.

It was period correct "looking", meaning it was not custom built and had the correct style pump and cast pulleys. If someone was wanting power and just to look correct I think the 67-72 type would pass... These are rare and few would have ever seen one. But no for the purist there are differences. Great thread going for those who have a 292 and want power steering, lots of good info.

Re: 1965, L6 292 Engine Power Steering Pump Set-Up
More great information, thanks. Looks like I have the crank, water pump, and alternator pulleys on my 65' 292 engine already that I need to add power assist steering.
Now I need the power steering brackets, pump and pump pulley. I am going to try and and get the original pump pulley if I can find one. Below are pics of my pulleys. Have not figured out tablet to let me post more then one image at a time. |

Re: 1965, L6 292 Engine Power Steering Pump Set-Up
The PS pulley number 3906398 on your pump posted Factorystock is listed as 1967-1972 292 only. The 1963-1966 292 only ps pulley is 3894044. This is only for reference, it is not criticism . Just interesting to learn and research.

footnote/reference: to my above pics, the alternator is a newer style replacement.

Re: 1965, L6 292 Engine Power Steering Pump Set-Up
Les, check the way that alternator is mounted, I think its supposed to be a little further forward to line both grooves of the pulley in line with the crank pulley. It looks likew they added a nut or something to space the adjuster bracket.

Re: 1965, L6 292 Engine Power Steering Pump Set-Up
These are the two main brackets for power steering on all 63-66 trucks 230 250 and 292. The difference with a 63-66 292 is the pumps pulley. These same brackets were used on all passenger car sixes also, Camaro Nova Chevelle and Impala and were in use on 230-250 trucks till 1970 according to the parts books.
![]() ![]() This is a 1969 250 six C10 I have out back with the same brackets but different pulley. Again these are not correct for 67 up 292 but are correct for 63-66 292. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 1965, L6 292 Engine Power Steering Pump Set-Up
60-66
You are right they did add a nut so that PS pulley is offset, will remove tomorrow. Thanks for clearing up the information on the PS pump brackets. It is a great help! |
