1974 454 Power Steering Mount Bolts!!!

[74bigblock]

Anyone know the specs on these? From what I understand there should be 3 mounting points, one adjustable to tension the belt, 1 that drops into the "U" shaped bracket on the mount, and a 3rd that goes through the middle of the pump into the mount. I am missing this middle bolt, and my pump keeps coming loose and the belt gets loose, therefore my alternator belt gets loose too, and It no chargie, and I get stuckie... so you see my problemo?? Anyone with experience on these?? Thanks!

Just going thru my old posts.. Wanted to let everyone know that I was correct above. BB 74 has 3 mountiung bolts... two are the same size, and the third is a double ended jobbie with nuts on both ends.

hey 74

i am in the process of swaping to a BB 427 and the P/S bolts that go into the block are 7/16-20 the one i got in the kit are 1" but 3/4" would fit better
the stud (double thread bold) is for the idler pulley
good luck

Jeff,


If I recall correctly, the stud was not for the pulley, it went on the lower drivers side bracket towards the rear of the car. There are 3 mounting points as well as the pulley mount. It's possible the 427 is set up differently.
