    I'm getting a little miffed trying to peice together a power steering setup off the net. Unfortunately, there aren't too many "pick-n-pull" junkyards that I know of locally, so I've yet to see a donor buick power steering setup in person....

    So, my question is, do these two brackets (see below) join to make this combo somehow (large picture is Mcruffs)? Is there another style bracket out there that I can look for? If you have any pictures of alternate style brackets that actually work, could you please share pics?

    I just installed mine after cutting off the air conditioner bracket. Now I can't remember what the bottom bracket looks like. I have a picture before I took it apart, but it doesn't show how the bracket attaches.

    If anybody has a picture of the back-side, I would appreciate a posting of that too.

    Looks almost identical to the "Alpine Green" I painted the 394 V8 in my '60 Olds. It was a very close match to the factory color. The other engine they used that year was the 371, and they were painted gold from the factory. I'm kinda glad I had the green one :)
