I *knew* this would come back to bite me on the A-hole. As you might know, I'm converting the V-belt setup to a Serpentine style setup using March Performance shiney stuff as part of the engine rebuild.
The bit I was never sure about though was the power steering pump, because the truck has quite a rare pump due to it being used to drive both power steering pump AND the hydroboost brakes.
Here's an except of an email I've just sent to March:
--
The power steering pump bracket in the kit does not fit the power steering pump mounting holes. It is very close, but not quite right. The power steering pump from the truck may may be slightly rarer than normal as it provides power for both the power steering AND the hydroboost-based power brakes, and as such has one high pressure inlet, and two return low presure inlets, one from the power steering pump, and the other from the hydroboost unit. The pump also has another inlet for the remote cannister resevoir.

Can you please advise my best course of action please!!

Hope I can get this sorted!!
