New member here! I bought a 1984 Caprice Classic 4 door that was originally diesel and was converted over to the 305 v8. It has a grocery list of small issues, most of which I have managed to repair myself. Most recently I had to have the fuel tank and regulator replaced. Okay, now for what I desperately need help with! Whoever did the conversion got nearly everything right with the exception of the power steering brackets. One of them is missing! I managed to find the missing "wishbone" bracket that sits behind the compressor and the power steering pump but I cannot find (nor do I know what it looks like) the bracket that connects the pump to the wishbone. Please see pics!

On a side note, the drivers side door window regulator "tape" broke. I know you can buy a replacement tape but I have no clue how to feed the new tape into the regulator.

Does the missing piece keep the power steering belt from tightening correctly?

Yes, the piece being missing allows the belt to pull the pump in at a bit of an angle. rear bracket I replaced on the pump because the old one fractured from the strain the belt put on it. Without the second bracket to pull the pump the other way it may just break again.

I'd try to find a pic of the piece or draw a template somehow and take it to a machine shop.See if they can cut you a piece of steel to fit it.
