    I’m looking for power steering brackets for a 430 to mount the pump lower I’m having clearance issues with my current setup
    And the belt rubbing the water pump.

    Pics must need low mount steel brackets not aluminum high mount

    All of those style brackets appear to drop it low enough to clear the water pump. It looks like there are 2 different styles in those photos?

    It looks like that kit still has the pump mounted up high In the picture. The complete set you have is it the same one as the picture?

    That is the correct bracket you're after. If you don't win the bid on the eBay one let me know I have one but if I recall it needs a bit of repair.

    No, you just need to use the pump from a 67-69 430. If I'm not mistaken all the "Big cars" like a Riv, LeSaber, Electra or Wildcat used that type of bracket. I know the Riv's do for sure. The bracket on my car (69Riv) and spare are both for a 69 Riv. They're the brackets that put the pump the lowest. What did your 430 come from?

    I'm not sure where it came from but it does hang the pump too low for a skylark.
    I think it is a stand alone part, as i only have the one piece.
    Does this look like what you need?

    Here are a couple of pics of my 67 skylark 462 with the bracket and pump also with the TA water pump which you will see it is VERY tight clearance on the belt.... I have run the with the new pump for about 20miles or so.... I have not decided if I want to take it apart again to file the pump for increasing the clearance....

    The bracket in 6455spd pic is the one he needs. It's from a 67-69 430 engine and positions the pump lower. I have the same bracket and using one of TA's HD water pumps and everything clears fine.
