Hi....I am looking for a power steering bracket with AIR for my 72 GS 455. Also need a choke....I have the bathtub and bolts...only need the actual choke with rod. You guys have always come through in the past....hoping I get lucky again! Thanks...Warren All parts found...thanks guys!!
Here is a choke is Fred doesn't have one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...19&item=180712802763&viewitem=&category=33552
Got the bracket. Still digging on the choke. will let you know tomorrow. Fred quote=gsfred;1907331]should have the Bracket, maybe the choke. Will check tonight. Fred[/quote]
The attached SM and AM pages show the power steering brkts that I am looking for. The rear brkt is #12 (1238313) in the assy man. Front brkt is shown in the SM but does not show part number. Hope this helps.
No worries. I did get the choke from another member and it looks like Fred may come through with the bracket! I've gotta say...I'm on boards for 3 different cars and this is by far the best board and group of people that I am involved with. Everyone is always very nice and helpful.:TU:
I am kind of surprised the rear bracket is steel. Everyone I have ever seen is cast. Did they change at some point to welded steel like they did on the A/C brackets? I found this ad when I first started my search (parts long gone) but they are really good pics and the part #'s match the Assy Man. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=182213&highlight=ps+pump+bracket+AIR I have a set of steel from a 72 BCE car and as everyone warned...they don't fit right. Pump is way too low, the lines hit at the pump. If the brackets you have are for an A car I will take them. I'm not hung up on it having to be cast....just don't want another set of BCE brackets. The front bracket I have doesn't have a PN stamp but does say "455 BCE" where as the one in the pics is stamped "350 A 455" I know from the forums that you do alot of this so I am trusting you know better than I do what the brackets fit.
Warren, PM'd you. What I posted is not correct based on the thead you posted. I did find the aluminum bracket, but not the metal one for the front of the pump.
