Title: 16v P/S into sami
Post by: zuki1018 on June 19, 2012, 11:50:05 AM
Wondering a couple things:

Which existing block bolt holes are used for the off-the-shelve kits?  There are 3 vertically inline at the front of the engine (orig uses the lower two i think).  There are 2 holes on the tracker p/s bracket (plus the reach-around to the oil pump).  Looks like the only steering pump to pulley clearance is using the lowest p/s bracket hole at the highest block hole... then needing a custom bracket.  This would be the highest possibly mount location.

2nd issue is my sami 3" drop pitman doesn't mate to the tracker.  Though about welding vs $100 ...as i can disconnect steering at the linkage.

can you re-do the second part of your post for me? trail tough will weld a bushing for around a saw buck and cal-mini has a drop arm but I think it's more like 130.00   is that what your asking?

Yeah u nailed it.  The threaded side of the sami pitman arm is smaller than the tracker unit.  I just threw the tracker on for now but i need the 3" drop to keep steering parallel.  I dont mind welding the sami pitman to the tracker steering.. just no enough clearance/swing where I located/mounted the tracker pump.

If I remember on mine I picked up another stock sixteen valve p.s. mount and welded on top of the other one, it had a couple of bolts that lined up on the block but welding it to the other made it real strong.
