I'm having a problem with the bracket that supports the back of the pump. If place it where I think it should go, the bracket ends up sitting right in front of the thermostat housing, so I can't put my upper radiator hose back on.

 

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a different thermostat housing for models with PS?

The models equipped with power steering had longer thermostat housings to clear.

NUTS!!!!

yep.... I had to get one when I put a ea81 into a 87 wagon, and used a ea81 PS pump.....

 

here's the difference....
