22-re bracketry help needed asap

[trollbum]

is this the right placement for this bracket? when i bolted it to the block the hole don't go anywhere near the rest of the PS bracket holes i'm hoping to get this sorted out in the next couple hours (before it gets dark)


  i've already waisted 2 hours trying to jimmy it in to place

what year truck are the brackets off of?

89


i pulled my engine apart (to do timing and headgasket and valves) but its the first time for me so i don't know where everything goes yet.

[Duffil]

oh your just putting it back together...thought you were adding p/s...

lol  ya  when I did my timeing chain  I got lost there to   but the way U are holding it looks right   that nocth/curve  is for the water pipe to clear     but   I belive thes another bracket that ties in to that one.   .. ya the altornator bracket      I don't remember the order it has to go back together  but i belive  linging up the holes  did   cause me to

cant tell for sure from the pic,  but bolt the mount with the 3 holes onto the head,  that piece is like a brace and i think it should be fliped over the  bolt holeyou have on top should be at the bottom then the 'Y' at the top


i'll doublecheck that for ya

[79coyotefrg]

yea  flip the bracket you are holding over  bold to theblock just above alt.   next to timing cover

the other ends  form a Y   and will bolt to the front and back of the p/s pump

you've got it upside down.  It goes to the bottom side of the PS bracket and down to the block.  The water outlet from the timing cover sits in the "y" of the bracket.  You could also throw it away...I see them missing all the time at work...

uhh i figured it out. it does bolt to the block and not to the timing cover the way i had it. anyone know what the extra  threaded hole below the coolant passage is for??

[79coyotefrg]

you mean the nut welded to the one ear of the bracket??
it bolts to the little tab that stick out below the pulley on the pump

[trollbum]

yeah boy am i luck as soon as everything gets together i add coolant and now my waterpump seal is leaking. someone out there really doens't want my truck on the roads...
