Power steering issue

[swhite9100]

I have 84 cutlass that I put a 383 in it. I also installed a serpentine kit. I'm having trouble getting my power steering pump pulley to fit. Its to close to gear box. Any suggestions on a smaller size gearbox I can use or any other ideas?? Someone please help.

By the looks of the kit compared to the 4.3 V6 system that I’m using, the power steering pump is moved towards the steering box more. Give TSP a call and see if they either offer another pulley, have a suggestion for a pulley, or if they’ll return it since you’ve installed it. I’m not aware of a smaller box you could use, but if the pulley is physically hitting the box when you go to install it, you may need to get another kit or snag one from a junkyard.

I will try giving them a call. Thank you for your help.
