Does anyone have a picture or could explain to me how the power steering pump bracket on a LG4 attaches to the engine, the kid I built the engine for just ripped it off without paying attention to how it attached, and Im trying to get it back together, thanks!

 

No picture, but here's basically how it goes (for v-belt cars).....

The bracket attaches at 3 points- one fulcrum, 2 sliders for belt tightening.

The fulcrum point is the top leg of the bracket. It attaches to the bolt that goes into the head, right near the corner where the block, head and intake all come together. It attaches to a double-sided stud, actually, that screws into that bolt hole. If you don't have that double-sided stud you'll need to use a bolt and as stack of washers about 3/8" thick. Failure to properly space the bracket away from the head at this point will result it the pulley being way out of plane with the rest of the pulleys on the front of the motor. Install this first- the rest off the bolts will be morey obvious from that point forward.

Slider #1 is where the PS bracket goes past a bolt hole on the bottom/driver's side leg of the water pump. Just a bolt with a washer under it retains the bracket at this point.

Slider #2 is the complicated one (if you are using brackets for an A/C car). There is a triangular bracket that bolts to 2 bolt holes on the front of the driver's cylinder head and the tip of the triangle points out towards the driver side, just kinda hanging in mid-air. There is a hole on the end of it with a metal ring around it out on the end. Then there is a second bracket that has a matching hole that centers on that special hole in the first bracket and attaches to the engine using the front 2 exhaust manifold bolts. This second, interlocking bracket supplies one of the mounting points for the A/C compressor on the top AND THE SECOND SLIDER FOR THE PS PUMP BRACKET ON THE BOTTOM.

Note, getting everything lined up correctly is sometimes tricky. If it don't look right, it's probably not right. Spend some time making sure you have it all correctly assembled and lined up properly.

 

here's my thread, with some pics, to help:

Here's the best pic of the bunch:



The only thing missing is that 2nd bracket I talked about that bolts to the 2 end exhaust manifold bolts and ties in with that triangular bracket bolted to the head. That bracket is pictured here:
