Thanks Baddog

Well it's back where it belongs.
Few more things to hook up.
How 'bout that POS hood ribbon at the top of the firewall. That pile is fairly new from LMC. Freakin' waste of hard earned dollars is what it is.
BTW notice anything a little different. I'm trying out new ones 'cause I want to get the look a bit more cohesive. Think I might have a pair fabbed and powder coated like my inner wells.
Just thinkin' out loud.

Exactly.
Sorry I wasn't clear trozei.
I like the black ones but everybody and his brother have them and I love the grey and blue look.
Notice I even bought a brand new steering pump to keep it together.

I thought that was a new pump but was not sure, the black cap or cover thru me off. Was it like that when you got it or did you paint it? I have the same CVR bracket also. Engine looks good back in where it is supposed to be. Where did you pick up the pump?

Funny thing about that.
I've been visiting all the swaps and sales looking for the right ps pump.
I hated the black deal.
As you know the CVR brackets are built for the old style pump like ours.
After a shnit load of looking I went to my local REAL parts store to just get a place holder till I found the right one.
All they could get was rebuilt pumps with no resevoir or a brand spankin' new pump.
And sonofabeeotch it's gray.
Add to cart.
But veeeeeery expensive.

Guess I'll keep using my black one for now. Down the road I may switch to hydro/boost, then I will have to get a Saginaw pump and a new bracket anyway.
