Power Steering Pump Hell

I take that back......Yeah you COULD space it forward, too. You'll have to put spacers between the pump and rear bracket and then spacers between the water pump housing and front bracket. Kinda a pain, but that will be the most cost effective way to correct the mismatched parts.

Good point, I forgot the B/RB is a "U" shape and the difference between the early body vs the "can ham". I'd ask my dad what he did on his 440 as he has the later pump but he has Covid right now.
