Picked up the pulley for my saginaw p-pump and pressed it on. Also took some measurements from a stock power steering pump/bracket and figured the difference between the PSC adapter plate. Machine some 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD DOM for spacers. Also snagged some 1/4x4" bar stock to use to plate in between the PSC bracket and stock engine hook plate. Hopefully have new holes drilled in the PSC braket tomorrow and get it all mocked up to weld. I'll document everything with pictures, part #s and measurements and do a write up on it once it's done and in action.

Got my Saginaw bracket mocked up on my parts truck. Hopefully get it all tacked up tomorrow so I can have it welded up and reinf orced with 1/4" plate. Also doing new upper swivel bearings and resetting the preload and replacing my panhard bar bushing tomorrow.
