i used a curved bracket and an adjuster rod to bascially swing the pump up away from the frame. it works, but needs some tension adjustment because the belt is a little loose. that is part of my winter project.

i am using a remade thunderbird rack, supposedly they have the right flow/pressure ratings to work with a standard saginaw pump. i actually blew the seals out of my stock mustang-ii rack that i used originally. blew them out after 800 miles or so. leaked out when i was picking up thai takeout for me and the wife.

i drove it for 500 or so more miles before swapping the rack. if it happens again...i'll go manual.

the 'manual power steering' wasnt that bad at all
