[Chevelle-list] March P/S bracket on BBC in 1970 Chevelle

[Mike Holleman]

You have a little different problem than I had, but March is aware of PS pump clearance issues on BBC in Chevelles. I'm sure they will have a solution for you.

  Thanks Mike.  Actually I cheaped out and just bought their Conversion Kit.  I supplied my own chrome p/s pump.

  Heres the links so were on the same page.

  I can put some pictures up on photobucket if anyone would like to see the interference issue.  

  In the meanwhile, I'm going to try to contact March as you recommended Mike.

  Thank you

    Dan, What March provides for your situation is a polished pump, and a bracket that does not cover the pump. I'm assuming you are using remote reservoir. I just went thru a major problem with the March system on a 502 in a 66 Chevelle. I first bought the Ultra system. Will not work in a Chevelle with a big block as it only leaves 5" in which to fit the cooling system. A call to March customer service will get you the right pieces.

      Alrighty, I ran into a bit of a snafu today.  I bought a March serpentine conversion kit from Summit a few months ago and just got around to trying to install it this weekend.

      The problem I'm having is that the power steering bracket that was supplied with the kit tries to mount the pump too low on the engine, making the pump body hit the steering box.

      Wondering if anyone on the list has had this problem and if so, what was the remedy?  

      Thank you much

      Dan McIntosh
