So I goofed a while back and bought the march ps pump kit for '79- older Saginaw pumps thanks to the seller's asinine compatibility description. Stupidly expensive for what it is I'd like to find a setup that fits these metric pumps but isn't $110+. Steel parts are fine as long as it ditches the exhaust stud mounting so the horrendous, over-complicated factory junk is off the table. Anyone know of a manufacturer, part number, anything?

 

I don't have a catalog in front of me but look at allstar performance. They have cool simple circle track stuff that's more reasonable than most big catalogs.

 

Good idea. I've got a speedway race catalogue around here somewhere I'll look through.

 

what style mount?

I've used this style:

which is listed for the 79 and older stuff but I don't remember having to modify anything to make it work with a metric ('87 f-body) pump. I did make the slot longer on it (cut that part of the bracket and re-welded it) but that was because I needed the pump in a different position to clear stuff on the front of my cylinder head.

I still have my bracket assembly, I ditched it because I finally figured out that all the saginaw pumps that I could get my hands on were junk and swapped to a type II.

 

Going over to a type II is ultimately what I'd like to do, only it seems a little pricey up front. What I've seen is v-belt pumps with remote reservior are around $250 and up.

As far far as the mount setup you showed there's one stud in the back of the pump that's in a different spot than the earlier style pumps and that's what makes them compatible or not.
