Mike,

Ebay is a good source, need to be sure it is the correct one, lots of people do not know what a correct one is. They are not cheap. Good luck.

if you run across one like that 235 setup , you should post it even if it is of no use to you. someone here may lead you to one for your 292 even though it is of no use to them

if you can get it for next to nothing it will pay for your 292 setup .235 p/s is quote difficult to find. all the brackets , pump and the pulleys. just the same as you would require for your 292. sometimes you need the double pulleys from the crank and or w/p.
if not just list it on here where the junk yard is
thanks

I'll go pick it up tomorrow maybe someone else could use it... how much should I ask for it?

[padresag]

i would say it would be equal to what one would pay for a 292 one would be. you have to be a member to sell it on here though.ebay is a place to sell it or c/l

big difference between 235 and a 250 eng. the 230-250 p/s is still a sought after item esp with the a/c brkts.
get a membership for here to place an ad in parts for sale or list on ebay or c/l

Many years ago I had put PS on a 68 with a 250. Got the pump and bracket off one vehicle and box from another. No issues that I can remember.

Now the brackets are getting as rare as hens teeth.This time on the 66 I had a double pulley on the crank. Put a double pulley on the water pump. Rear belt stayed unchanged from crank to water pump to alternator. Front belt from crank to water pump to steering pump. Had to cut down and modify an elaborate bracket from an 85 Buick IIRC which had the adjustment slot.

corvetts 65-72 power steering pulley is same as 292 chevy c/k 10 G.M. # 3834720 .and they have a remake off set for around 28.00 cp#38810

Planning the power steering conversion for my 1963 C20, with a cross member from a 1974 C20.

Should I order a pump/pulley from a 63 C20 or from a 74 C20 (inline six 292).
Not sure if the 292 in my truck is the original motor.

And, is it better to have the pump without the reservoir? Any advantages here?

I just picked up a PS bracket from Davis Speed Equipment. It’s not OEM, but is high quality, 1/4 steel and includes hardware and clear instructions. He’s got variants for different positioning of the pump and alternator and low profile and a few others. For me it was well worth the $143 for model 10003. There are also new brackets for A/C units. Great service and excellent phone help. 608-469-4927. Good luck.

I just bit the bullet and purchased the same bracket. Seems like a better way to go than trying to fabricate one on my own.

Question on the pump - does your pump have the stud at the 5 o’clock position?

I have been trying to find the correct pump, and I am just not sure which one I should purchase.

Some of the pumps on Rock Auto do not have that stud, or it’s at the top of the pump.

Did you buy your PS pump recently, or did it come with your truck? Any chance you have a part number?

I wonder if the PS pumps from other cars would work, like from a Nova or Camaro.

Is there a hydro boost setup that connects the power steering to the brake vacuum booster? A parts guy mentioned that to me on the phone.
Is that a required setup for these trucks? Don’t you need an extra connection on the PS pump for this?

[mongocanfly]

hydroboost doesnt connect to a vacuum booster...it is the booster..no vacuum needed
ive seen people run the bypass line from the booster to a T in the steering box return line line...but ive heard some complaints about cavitation issues , and some have no isuues... a true hydroboost pump has 2 return line fittings..one for the booster and one for the steering

I’m not sure I understand. Any pics or diagrams?

[mongocanfly]

this is a hydroboost...it replaces the vacuum booster
the pressure line from the pump goes to the hydroboost...and then to the steering box...from the steering box back to the reservoir...there is also a return line from the booster itself that goes back to the reservoir,,,
most use a inline cooler on them as well in the return line between the steering box and the reservoir

[mongocanfly]

heres a pic of the hose setup..i didn't have the return from the hydro hooked up in this pic so I drew it in red
the blue arrows point to the lines going to the cooler

Mucho complicado- not sure if that is proper Spanish. ��

So, I take it, if I buy this PS pump, I will not need to worry about this so-called ‘hydro-boost’.

not sure what pump is in your link...the page is empty...but if you get a reg ps pump youll be fine....ive even seen hydroboost pumps used with no hb and with the extra return port plugged off and unused

Maybe the link was bad.

[mongocanfly]

that pump has one pressure line and one return line...so thats good for you..wether itll fit your truck , i havnt a clue

[Asshat]

Can anyone confirm - can I remove this stud and use a bolt in its place?

I cannot get the bracket on there.

That stud bolts into the pump; I’m just worried about getting it to seal and not leak.
