I would like to get a picture of the brackets, there's a picture of the brackets in the manual but doesn't show the pulley side.

I don't have a picture of the front bracket without the pulley in the way but you can see its general shape. Bracket is about 1/4" thick and has a jog to it. There is also a bracket to support back of pump. You need the correct ps pulley so it will line up with water pump pulley.

You would also need a PS center link, control valve, slave cylinder and hoses. A hole has to be made in fender well for the pump hoses to pass thru. Also need a bracket to mount slave cylinder to frame. A different pitman arm for ps also.

Your best bet is to find a junk 61-63 4-cyl. Tempest with power steering. There are rebuild kits readily available for the pump, control valve and slave cylinder as Corvettes used the same rebuild kits.

Default trophy 4 camshaft

In need of a camshaft for 62 tempest 4 cylinder 4 barrel high compression engine. Stamping number 099. Used or nos any and all leads would be greatly appreciated. Even would accept a lightly worn one just so it is able to be reground, one of my lobes was too far gone.

Have attached the photo of the entire assembly. The two black ones are needed, the other two are part of the alternator mounting. Flat plate in the front, angled part connects to the motor mount bracket. The PS pump is fixed in place, the belt is tensioned off of the alternator adjustment. Let me know if there is anything else needed.
