Default Struggling with 1975 Firebird power steering and alternator configuration
I am restoring a 1975 Firebird Formula and unfortunately didn't remove the accessories myself. I also have multiple brackets. This is an A/C car that I believe has the 80amp alternator. I know the brackets on the power steering pump are the original, but cannot find any good pictures online, or diagrams to show which brackets to use and how everything mounts. I'm hoping someone here can assist with info and maybe take a quick picture or two of their setups for me if they are also using this power steering setup. Thanks in advance -B

I believe that 1975 used the same brackets as 1976-1978;
That alternator is absolutely wrong - maybe that's your issue? What cranshaft pully(ies) do you have? What water pump pulley do you have?

Also, what are the casting numbers on the inside of the 2 aluminum brackets (picture 2)?

I have come to understand that mis-matched pullies are THE biggest issue that people have with throwing belts (ect.)

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
