So during one of the early test starts of the engine in my 68 300 440 the Power steering pump started jumping all over and the belt was about to fly off until I shut it down. I was told that the rubber snubber needed to be replaced, and I did that because there wasn't one.
So I bolted it all back up and was doing another start and I'll be a Son of a B it started jumping again I followed the manual procedure for tightening with light tension. The pivot bolt at the bottom has some concentric looking grooves cut into it on both ends where it meets the bracket, should those be there, they looked factory I think. I should have taken a pic of it. The whole pump can wobble around at that pivot, doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe That bolt needs to be replaced, let me know what you think.
Thanks
