power steering pully
just bought and installed power steering in my 66 f-100. Got it off e-bay. it suposed to have come off a 66 with a 352. pump seems good.brackets also. The hoses were alittle short but with alittle work got them on too. steering box slid right in no problem but, the triple pulley that bolts to the balancer did NOT line up correctly so i drilled three new holes. Its on but,it wabbels alittle bit and it is close but not lined up perfectly with the power steering pump. Is there a specific pulley that would fit or did I just not line it up correctly? I also filled it with tranny fluid not power steering fluid is that OK? I'm new to rebuilding and can use all the help I can get. Thanks

ATF will work just fine, some here might not agree with me. but i have used it many times in the past with no problems.
If you need to space the bracket out to align the belt try a washer(or 2) between the bracket and the block.... vise-versa if you need to space out the pully.

Ford changed the balancer is 1968, it has FOUR mounting holes.
There are a few THREE bolt outer pulleys for 1961/67's available NOS, either one, two or three sheave (groove). These are the same as 1961/67 passenger cars.
1966/68 F100/250 2WD's & 1969 F100/250 2WD's before serial number D96,001 used BENDIX P/S.

The balancer and its assorted outer pulleys used thru 1967 have THREE mounting holes.

There is no outer pulley listed in the car or truck parts catalog or O-S-I (Obsolete-Supercede-Interchange) catalog with an ID number of C8AE-6312-E so I dunno what you have.
AFAIK, all 1968 and later FE outer pulley's have 4 bolt holes, so are not listed for 1967 and earlier.

Bill, Google Ford C8AE-6312-E
A pulley as described does come up in several places, with photos.

Bill with all respect, that is why I have so much indigestion with much of what you post. I just read yesterday a post by you ripping the very source that you and holding tightly today, and I don't understand that. You were busting Ford for changing part numbers by the thousands. When there is good images of the parts you don't want to take a look.
A link for others that might want to take a look C8AE-6312-E shows in 4 photos the Ford emblem, the part umber and a general description of the part that is described above.
You are a valuable player here.
There is a huge amount of Ford parts that will interchange and work in the older vehicles. There is no denying that even if you want to.

My '66 352 with is set up with the stamped 2 groove C8AE-6312-E pulley. It is bolted to balancer D5TE-DA. Everything (water pump/alternator and Ford P/S pump) seems to line up correctly, even though it is a later setup.
According to ND, the actual setup is C4AE-6316-B balancer and cast iron pulley like this one (3 sheave shown) = 4 belt grooves total. Other numbers of pulley/belt combinations were available.
The C4AE balancer has degree marks and an integral belt groove whereas the later D5TE has degree marks, but no belt groove.
The later balancer is larger and heavier. The cast iron pulley helps make up for the weight difference of the lighter, earlier balancer, so re-drilling a C8AE pulley would not be the optimum installation for use with the earlier balancer.
In addition, the cast pulley has a shoulder shown above on the rear that fits into the earlier balancer center hole to help keep things aligned. I never could find a number on the cast iron pulley shown, except for CA1N. Here is the front:
Hope this helps.

You're not very bright when you can't see the full picture and only troll along. Best thing to do when you are of this type, is just stay quiet. Go it son?
