I met with Tom Miller today and recieved a bunch of parts from him for free (plus gas and toll fees for 6+ hours of driving in Mels 71GS). Anyways... I planned to "pass the torch" and give away a bunch of the stuff I don't need and/or want from his batch. While I was snapping pictures in my garage tonight, I grabbed some of my own stuff I've been hanging onto too. So I'll be posting a bunch of threads here tonight (and they'll all start with this boring blurb), and all the parts are free plus actual shipping unless otherwise noted. <b>Please post IN THIS THREAD if you want the part, and then email me your address to ricknmel@woh.rr.com No PM's please. The PM box gets too full, too quick. Simple instructions:</b> 1-First post in this thread reserves this part for you. 2-Please do not sell these parts. If you don't use them for yourself, give them away! 3-Email me your shipping address and I'll get it sent out via USPS. The shipping cost will be right on the package. 4-Mail me a check for the shipping amount after you recieve the parts. If you'd rather pay via paypal, please add $1 to cover the paypal fees OK.. so on to the part for this thread....... Mystery brackets for 67 GS? (Smog related?)
Help IDing these brackets Yes, they ARE PS pump brackets. I'm fairly certain that these are big block, as they aren't the high mount brackets from a 350 car. I think they may be the same as later BB brackets, which are very desireable and necessary for a BBB conversion. However, they look like they might (?) be even lower than the BB brackets I'm used to (68-70), which might make sense if it was an AIR pump car.
Well... I hate to do this, but since no-one has expressed interest in these AND they might be PS brackets that would work in my 67 'vert.... I'd like to take another look at them and see if they will work for me. I'm not happy with what I had to do to mount the PS pump on my 455 I put in the convertible. I had to shim the bracket out with a nut. So.... until further notice, I plan to try to use these for myself. Thanks for the help guys. :beer Sorry if someone wanted these. But I haven't recieved any emails, or seen any interest in this thread yet. o No:
Rick Glad I could help you "Pay it Forward" to yourself. Hey, it's just like you found them free from someone else! I compared them last night, and yes, those are 67-70 big block PS brackets.
Any chance someone can post a picture of these brackets in use? I feel like a moron. I messed with them for about 15 minutes and I can't see how they can work? Maybe my PS pump is wrong or something. o No: Do the 67 400 heads have a different bolt pattern for the accy's than the 455 heads?
