Hey, y'all. I'm admitting defeat and need help.
Here's the deal: I replaced the questionable water pump on my 1969 Fury III (318 w/ a/c and p/s) and am in the process or attaching all the accessories. Now, I'm a pretty good wrench and pride myself in being able to reassemble almost anything correctly (eventually), but I've wound up with a "mystery bracket" and an extra bolt that I can't place. That hasn't happened to me since I was about 12. I do have a shop manual but it doesn't have any photos or diagrams of how stuff is mounted to the front of the engine. I also took photos before I disassembled things, but the one of the p/s pump didn't come out, and I didn't notice until it was too late. The p/s pump is where I think the bracket and the extra bolt belong, but I just can't figure it out. So . . . HELP!!! If anyone can talk me through this or send photos, I'd be forever grateful. And thanks in advance.
Here are a couple of photos of the bracket:
The pump from the top/front (yeah, that's a new bolt - I managed to lose that one. I'm really batting 1000 with this project. . .):
From the side:
One of the reasons I think this bracket belongs on the p/s pump is the threaded boss, and I have a vague recollection of removing a bolt on the pump somewhere:
Thanks again, y'all.
