Ignition Switch/ Power Steering

[john shutzbaugh]

Before you mount the new P/S pump, insure that the reservoir is the same thickness (front to back) as the old one. I got one about 3/16 thicker than
the old one and did not notice till I found it interfered with one of the alternator bracket bolts going into the head. Had to undo the P/S bracket
puzzle, remove the bolt and grind about 1/4 off the head, then put the bracket puzzle back together. I considered changing the old reservoir onto the
new pump, but from previous comments, think I made the right move.

Also check that the reservoir is clocked on the pump body the same as the
original. Ask me how I know about that one.
