I have been searching the internet for days looking everywhere for information on the P/S Brackets for a 6 Cylinder 1967 Mustang, built early April in NJ. So far I have been able to narrow it down to 2 possibilities. An all black 3 piece bracket, a carry over from 1965-66 or a 3 piece black, aluminum and cast bracket looking more like the mounting bracket from an 8 cylinder. I looked at StangersSite page but see no pictures of 1967 6 cylinder mounting brackets. Any pictures or advice would be of great help. Thanks

Cast iron slave cylinder bracket is the same for 65-70 mustangs.....I-6 or, SBF's (not big blcoks)
PS hose bracket: '67-70 is the same for a 6 cy or SBF....
Multiple vendors can provide these items: stevesmustangparts.com, cjponyparts, etc....

Thank you for a very quick response. Looking at the schematics for 1967 and 1968 brackets it would seem that my 1967 Mustang has a 1968 bracket setup. Do you think that it is possible that it came from the factory with that setup with an April build date? I know Ford sometimes changed things mid-production. I don't know when production would start on 1968s.

That style power steering pump is a Thompson 'pencil neck' pump with a stamped steel fluid reservoir. It was produced and installed on various Ford vehicles from 1965-1977.
--although in 1965 and 1966, the filler neck on the Thompson pump was much larger in diameter. It was made smaller in 1967.
The successor to the Thompson PS pump was the Ford CII (C-2). Is was produced from 1978 through about 2003. It has a large diameter filler neck and a plastic reservoir housing. The C-2 PS pump mounting brackets are not compatible with the pencil neck pump.

The aluminum pump bracket was the same on V8 and 6 cylinder cars. I took the PS stuff off my original '67 coupe (6 cylinder) that I started with at 14, but in the end proved too rusty to salvage. My intention was to install the stuff on my '67 fastback (289) that I bought after, but that never came to fruition. The steel brackets that fasten the pump bracket, etc. to the engine are of course different. Going purely off memory the lower picture ('67) engine bracket looks like what I remember the 6 cylinder car having.
Now, could you have a '68 setup factory? Sure, stuff like that happened all the time, especially if it was a late build '67 that was getting its parts from the '68 parts run when the '67 parts had run out. There are '67s that had 302s in them, some were even marked as 289s on various data plates.
REMEMBER!!! When posting a question about your Mustang or other Ford on this forum, BE SURE to tell us what it is, what year, engine, etc so we have enough information to go on. |
