power steering pump mounting ?
 
I have a 70 455 in my 65 GTnO. I recently pulled the motor(8 months ago) and am now ready to reinstall it. I thinkI have lost some mounting hardware for the power steering pump. There are two bolts on the inboard side of the pump that appear to need spacers betwen the bracket and the pump. Am I correct or do I have something backwards? The pulley lines up with the others and I cannot see another way to mount all the brackets.

I think you need to post pictures of your p/s pump - as even for 2nd gen Firebirds there are a couple setups... once someone knows which setup you have, advice can be properly given from there...

also it should be noted that some power steering pumps require the use of a bolt boss not found on pre 1973(?) heads - so this could also be a factor.

Why is this in the Firebird section? They didn't have a 455 installed in the 1970 Firebirds, correct? Maybe post the question in the early GTO or 70-72 GTO section (or wherever/whomever may have used the pump assembly from).
