I'm stumped. Have a 69 GTO with a 70 motor. Just redid the motor and ordered new March Pulleys and all 70 correct brackets for Alternator and P/S pump, along with new P/S pump. The guy that had it before me had a bracket that was not even correct for a Pontiac. He also had the tear drop style p/s pump instead of the correct banjo style. Anyway, the crank and water pump pulles align perfectly and the Alternator pulley can be aligned with a spacer no problem. My problem is the P/S sump pulley. It is about 1/4" too far back toward the motor. As I said, I am positive I have the right aluminum bracket that bolts to the head for a 70 motor - actually the same bracket was used from at least 68. I am stumped as to why the pulley is so far off. I ordered another p/s pump to be sure I got the right one, but it sure looks to be correct.

Anyone have this problem or know what it could be? I'd hate to have to shim the bracket against the head to pull it forward.
