I lucked out today and found the OE power steering pump bracket for my 261 that I have been searching for for months. Bit of a needle in a haystack. Only problem is that the old style pump that I picked up from Lordco does not fit. Looks like I need a pump that is completely flat on the back as per the pictures. Any obstruction on the back will not allow belt adjustments to be made. I do not have the pump in the picture however it is the one that I would need since my bracket is the same.If you can help me identify which pump this is I would greatly appreciate it. I need a part/casting number so that I can determine if they are still available. Thanks in advance.

This Chevrolet replacement power steering pump has been manufactured to meet or exceed factory specifications and performance. You will find the fit and function will work perfectly for your Chevy. You will also be pleased to know that Eckler's has sourced this power steering pump among other possible parts as the best choice for your repair or restoration project.
That pump from Late Great Chevy is the same as the one that I already have unfortunately. The back has an indent around where the pivot bolt attaches. The indent on the pump will not allow the pump to pivot. This is the pump that I have. This is the pump that I need.

The front of the two pumps look exactly the same. Its the protrusions on the one that make it different. If you look closely at the pump with the bracket attached, it is smooth. I need part/casting number for the smooth case pump.
