power steering pump bracket info (engine conversion)

Problem is that the pressure hose was designed to fit a saginaw pump to a V8 kframe. Since the /6 kframe is a little bit different the bends in the hose are not correct and interfere. When I ran into that problem I just notched the Kframe. Wasn't pretty but it worked.

You said you tried a different p/s pump? Was it a federal that came with the slant six? If you get some v8 brackets for the federal pump and the correct high pressure hose it may fit.

I ran into this situation AGAIN when I swapped my /6 kframe with conversion mounts with v8 kframe. I think the year kframe I had originally used a different style pump so again the hose did not fit correctly. Instead of notching the kframe again or hunting down the correct pump/brackets/hose, I just used what I had and took the pressure hose to a hydraulic hose maker and had him modify it so it would fit. Cost me about $30
