Post by: Danishbanker on May 27, 2013, 08:21:39 AM

Hi

I have re-installed the engine after a year and now I have forgot how the brackets are on the power steering pump, and allso how the hoses are run to the steeringbox :-((

Do you have the Assembly Manual? It's all shown in section N40.

Which engine?  327 you must remove 2 bolts from front/top and bottom of M. Mount, then just hold the bracket in place a replace bolts.  On 350 or 302 you just remove the top/front bolt.(view A bracket 19)

The hose routing is in UPC N40, sheet A6, bottom sketch for a V8 (or sheet A10 for big block V8).  It runs between the motor mount stand and the engine block, so yes under the motor mount.  There's another good site for information called Team Camaro and at www.camaros.net  Here's a link to a discussion with pictures at that site.  However, this person shows a third clip fastened to the motor mount stand, which I don't believe was used in 67 model year since it is not seen in the assembly manual:

On both websites you can run advanced searches using key words such as "power steering hose routing".  On the Team Camaro site you may need to first be in the appropriate section (Brakes, Suspension, Steering) before running an advanced search.

The amount of slack would depend on the hose you are using - if it's a generic hose, or the specific hose for a 67 Camaro.  Regardless, a final step for installing is to turn your wheels full left and right while observing to hoses, to ensure you don't have any binding issues.
