Thank you guys I was able to get it on the shaft a bit more and am using a pulley installer to do it. I will get the number and post up here. I found a 77 f350 for sale online locally and had him take pictures of engine and it had a spacer behind ps bracket.
Rich,
After many hours of searching, Found the issue.
Was a cockpit problem on my end. I left the Y out of SparkyRnd.
Was really bothering me not to be able to find what I knew what I thought I saw. lol..
Sorry for the mix up.
Thank you, Alex
No worries Alex, here is his list of threads, that he has started. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...rchid=33668493
I do not have time to dig thru each one, maybe you can recognize it? If it still needs posted? Once you find it just copy the post # and paste it here.
That picture does not look right either. Going by memory but Ford did not use what looks to be a large nut combined with a round spacer as a power steering bracket spacer. The bolt also looks to be a common hardware store bolt so someone has been messing with it. I wouldn't trust the originality on this pic.
Anyone please chime in but I recall Ford used a round aluminum spacer on non-AC trucks in place of the (absent) AC bracket.
I have two one-owner 1979 F-150's with a 351M and a 400 but unfortunately I am 200 miles away, otherwise I would take a couple of pictures for you.
Yes thank you would love to see what it’s “supposed” to look like if I take my ac bracket off then I’ll definitely need a spacer. I also figured it would look something like the alternator spacer. Just smaller maybe. I had pinging going on and tore down and did new timing chain intake manifold gasket valve cover gaskets water pump and had fun figuring out how it all went back together. She’s running again but the power steering is a little tweaked. I had a 78 with a 460 and i remember the pulley being exactly the same on that truck so obviously whatever I am missing I was missing on that truck
I don't think that is the correct pulley but my experience with Ford power steering pump pulleys is that there are many of them and sometimes there isn't much for markings.
According to the Ford parts manual 1978/79 the 351M/400 power steering pump pulley part number is D0AZ-3A733-A and I would expect to find it marked with D0AR-A.
In the case of your truck it does seem that the pulley you have does not have enough offset, but hard to tell conclusively from the pictures. Is the pulley just too far ahead of the other ones or is the face of the pulley actually crooked (or slightly angled) in relation to the other pulleys?
Just to give you an idea of how many pulleys there are for these trucks....
My '77 had NO AC "table" on it when I bought it in '86, it was a "non AC" truck. I added the AC. It was long ago, but as best as I can recall, it had a round spacer there between the PS bracket and head, not a oversized nut. One could remove the "table" and just use a same depth spacer easy enough. Thread the nut on a shaft or between two nuts , chuck in a drill press, spin it, grind the 6 corners round and paint it.
