#PS808 - Installation InstructionsPower Steering Pump Bracket for Front-Mount Small Block Chevy V8

Instructions:1. Securely

support the engine before removing stock engine mount bracket. PS808 will install directly in place of the OE bracket. (Fig. 2)

Notes:Read instructions completely and familiarize yourself with bracket/pump orientations before beginning installation.

Make sure the kit fi ts your application, as intended, before painting, plating, or attempting to modify; parts altered in any way cannot be returned.

This bracket is designed to be used with the non-metric GM (Type 1) pumps with integrated reservoir, as well as remote-reservoir pumps, both of which CPP offers along with correct pulleys for your particular application. Stock “riveted” balancer (crankshaft) pulley on the early 265s will not work/align with any of the various power steering pump pulleys—and the pulley hole patterns are different from later, threaded-hole balancers. You will need to swap your balancer to an updated 6-1/8” balancer (CPP #18-35) in order to accept a bolt-on pulley. And if the crank snout is not already threaded, you will want to drill and tap for 7/16-20 harmonic balancer bolt. See additional instructions for crankshaft modifi cation and balancer installation.

2. Unbolt stock bracket; replace with #PS808 us-ing supplied cap screw Allens and lock washers. Install new motor mounts at this time if necessary. (Fig. 3)

3. Loosely install the power steering pump (the open hooked end attaches to the lower rear stud on the pump, while the front bolts directly to pump as illustrated in Fig. 4).

4. Loosely attach the adjusting arm bracket to the front of the pump and the engine. For “short” water pump applications, the dogleg points towards the pump; for “long” water pump applications, the dogleg in the bracket goes towards the engine. (Fig. 5)

5. Typically, the adjusting arm will mount off the “lower” water pump bolt (especially to allow space for generator/alternator bracket arm); however, in some cases the upper location can be used. (Figs. 6-7)

6. Verify the fi t of your belts with the bracket po-sitions; generally, a 15466 sized V-belt works best with a #CP38810 (PS pump), #CP38813 (dual-groove water pump), and #CP38811 crank pulley confi guration. Tighten all bolts/nuts and adjust the belt tension as normal. (Fig. 8)
