move PS pump

dan58

I despise how AMC put the PS pump at the highest possibly point on the motor. Is there any way to move it lower?

build a bracket and mount it opposite the alternator and get a different belt. Might need new hoses too.

GM hangs theirs down low on the driver side. Maybe adapt SBC brackets. They use the same Saginaw pump with a different shaped reservoir. I kind of like mine up high, water is a very bad for a hydraulic system. Bob tufcj

A full hydro steering should bee 100% waterproof and sealed. No worries about water. The problem is having a reservoir that's above the pump. I have a separate reservoir, and it's against the hood.
