Power Steering Pump Pulley Alignment

[rymanrph]

I have an issue with my power steering pump not lining up. The belt going to the alternator is fine, but the steering pump pulley sits probably 5/16" behind. I know there are different brackets, pumps, etc. and I was hoping someone could help identify what I have and what I need.

The motor is a 360 and you can see my crank pulley and alternator setup here:

I don't have pictures of my own pump, but I found these pictures and this is what my pump and brackets look like (I hope it's OK if I borrow them):

Do I need new brackets or can I use spacers to bring the pump in alignment?

I solved P/S alignment issues on my buddy's '69 Dart with a combination of this

and various thickness 3/8" spacers...It was originally a small block car that got a 383 transplant...I know it's different than what you're working on, but after trying several different combinations, I got it to line up properly...

I have this same problem on my 73 Dart Sport 340. What's the trick to get the pulley lined up with crank pulley????

I just ended up using washers to space it out correctly.

No trick. Just use washers as spacers, as needed.

Worked for me too. It's not perfect but belt stays on now.
