You can also replace the setup by drilling the worn holes larger , on center , then using a threaded rod , lock washers , nuts and a pipe like spacer like a mopar alternator mount . Then you can adjust as normal ; tighten to normal tension . at one point I did several F with a correct length Allen bolt and another time a shoulder bolt ( expensive , hard to find) . Looks stock but no more grief . Shoulder bolt allows you to clamp only at front tab — back two places not clamped . Back hole larger than front then , thread of shoulder fits front hole , clamp is made between shoulder and nut on front . All this from memory of long ago . A major shortcoming is the rubber wedge gets oil soaked falls apart or is missing in stock setup , but even worse the front hole wears more with all the rocking so you can easily see the pulley is tilted as is the pump axis , looks like hell . Place yardstick on pulley.. all pulleys in same parallel plane I have seen “ restored “ 300’s with pump obviously out of square , leading to slipping of driving belt. Whole idea of self adjusting by a loose fitting bolt in plain steel hole is plain garbage . All PS pumps except this short and failed experiment are rigid mounted — and the stock bracket can be made to be rigid , the pipe spacer lets you squeeze it down tight with a long bolt Someone mentioned the later GM Saginaw pump ,— I did that too . Great pump ! However Saginaw outputs about 1000 psi ; probably ok for 59 up later PS box , but coaxial box on 57,58 (59? I don’t think so ) needs 800 . There is an answer — CPP sells an easily swapped output fitting for 800 psi out of Saginaw . Hot rod guys use that with the mustang rack , also 800 . Good place to buy pump too . I made brackets myself , but someone mentioned later B block works . CPP also sells hoses custom. I Also found out recently that the local Napa store has a hydraulic hose making setup in back. They made up a hose for Saginaw to 57 coaxial box in 15 minutes . Had to have a metal splice in middle ( like some mopar stock ps hoses) due to different diameter hoses . They had that . Worked out great Hope this helps , John
