1965 Power Steering Brackets (Federal pump)?

[dibbons]

I am going nuts trying to find a reference, photo, or video on what a complete '65 Abody Federal power steering pump looks like with all its brackets/hardware (and how to affix it to the motor). Pictured is what I have found so far (took the motor out two years ago and just now trying to put it all back together). I would appreciate any help getting this thing back on track. Thank you.

Not sure but isn't there suppose to be a second bracket that bolts on the block ?

 

[Kendog 170]

Sorry wrong bracket in pic.

 

[Kendog 170]

Maybe missing this bracket?

 

[dibbons]

Thanks, but I am looking for brackets already attached, I need to make sure. It's very difficult to determine when brackets are loose and there are many different bracket versions to boot.

 

[Kendog 170]

No problem. I thought the Bracket in pic on LHS was whats missing. Give you something to look for. Bracket on RHS looks like yours.

Actually, after some research it looks like you, Kendog 170, hit the nail on the head in post #4, that pair of brackets are what I need. Well, I have the one, need the other (LHS). Thank you.

Interesting thing is it's a TRW bracket you have in your Pic. Maybe it fit's the Federal pump as well ? This is what I mounted my TRW pump with in my 68 Dart 340.

Looks like it will work.

Also isn’t the rear bolt supposed to be a double ended bolt?

 

[dibbons]

Good point. This is really becoming complex.

By the looks of that the brackets shouldn’t interchange cause of the height difference. The angle will be way off. Kim

 

[dibbons]

I almost to the point of considering fabrication of a second bracket. How difficult could it be?

Just need to find some way to stabilize the other side (inside) of the pump so tightening the belt won't throw the pulley angle off too much.

I’ll find my bracket this afternoon and see which pump it fits. Kim

 

[dibbons]

In this foto the bolt in the notch does not appear to be double-ended (not saying that is correct).

 

[oldkimmer]

I think maybe 1 or the other had it but not both Federal and/or TRW. Kim

I wanted to post some pics earlier, but just couldn't get to it.

That looks like a two-piece bracket resembling those in the 1965 Mopar Parts Book, probably exactly what I am looking for.

If you'll note, my pump has the larger return hose and the nipple points up. As I understand it, that makes mine an earlier pump. I think pre 67???

That last foto from post #19 is different with two bolts available on the back side, must be TRW pump. Well, my fabricator is going to use these last bunch of fotos as a basis for our custom piece.

Sorry I must of misplaced my bracket. Kim

If you need more photos, let me know.

Update:
Fabricator made a bracket and sent me some photos. I gave him an old water pump to test the fit.
