what am I missing or how incorrect is this power steering pump installed? It was installed like then when I bought the car? I know there has to be something wrong with this? Don't mind the lifter in the hose clamps haha

You're missing the bracket that mounts on the head & exhaust manifold, it attaches to the curved slot on the pump bracket. I used a stud & lock nuts to adapt to the use of headers. Search for the diagrams for the parts break down. I will say that is a creative adaptation for it to work.

It is mounted too high that long bolt goes through that wide hole at the lower part of the water pump and you will also need an additional bracket to mount to the last driver's side header bolt.

Yeah I got it from a hillbilly haha. It's came a long way, but it's never been right. Now that I've done some motor work I got on it hard last night and broke it. Overheated slightly too don't want that to happen again.
Btw the power steering pump is the only part on the entire car that is original.
