Re: Wild H. Saginaw into Explorer Bracket install

Got any pics of how you mounted yours broncoman?

Well, I don't have inner fenders on my Bronco and right now I'm redoing the front end for coil overs and a Dana 60 so my reservoir isn't reinstalled yet. But when it goes back on it will be attached to part of my engine cage.

Looks great! Was that the only change you needed to do, add the plate on the idlers pulley for a 351?

Also, with a few more fittings I best you can change that hose routing to be more direct.

Thanks Mark,

I also lowered the pump to accommodate the tall resivior. With a lower profile resivior this would not be necessary. I found a nice 5/8 filler tube with a U-shape in it to replace the ugly fittings. I'll post some more photos soon.

Hi Paul,

That pump had a "canned ham" style can before I changed it. It has a .688" shaft, I guess its a Ford application because a Mustang pulley fits. Let me know how to get the other pulley back to you.

Jim

Just bring it do dinner Thursday.
I'll trade 'ya for some other stuff I'm bringing.

They call it a 5.5", but it's closer to 5.250"

Re: Wild H. Saginaw into Explorer Bracket install

how did you 'lower' your pump?

I slid the bracket down on the head so that the top bracket bolt hole bolts in the lower head bolt hole, and then added a tab to recreate the upper bracket mounting location

Re: Wild H. Saginaw into Explorer Bracket install

gotcha, thanks. So the pump sits up a bit higher normally?

is there any provision for mounting an air compressor in a non-stock location?

Re: Wild H. Saginaw into Explorer Bracket install

does the pump move around much being mounted only from the rear? How thick is the bracket?

jim, your mailbox is FULL

I haven't run it yet. Bracket is 1/2" I think. I was thinking about bracing it from front as well, but waiting to see how it performs.
