Re: need help with power steering

Oh boy, it's been awhile since I had my 87 with it's stock 305 and v-belt setup. There's two near the water pump like you said, and another to the right of it that bolts into a "brace" that goes around the #1 cyl exhaust port. This brace bolts into the side of the head and front IIRC.

Been awhile I'll look for a picture.

IIRC there was a spacer behind mine to fill that gap.
