    The bracket I run on mine is a homemade butcher job that doesn't align quite right :rofl:
    I intend on searching for a bracket from an '83 Buick Regal. From discussions here, that should work on the 225.
    If you get the pump from that, you'll need a Saginaw box that uses o-rings instead of flared fittings. In mine, I run the flared fittings...
    1980 is the transition year. Prior to that, fittings were flanged. After that, o-rings. the box needs to match the pump, or else you need custom hoses.

    Any Buick V6 or Buick 350 setup will work. I just bought a pump and brackets off of a 1971 Buick 350 on e-bay for $25.00. It bolted right up.

    Like Mortten said any Buick V6 or 350 V8 bracket will work but try to get the 2 piece metal one, not the alumin bracket. The alumin bracket sticks out farther and can hit the inner fender. While your at it you might want to grab the crank and waterpump pullys at the same time.

    Mine is an aluminum bracket with steel brackets bolted to the pump, one on the back, one on the front. The aluminum bolts to the head and the brackets then bolt to the aluminum. Mine's in a CJ2A and it clears the fender fine.

    nickmil In mothballs.

    I could be mistaken but going from memory it looks like both are missing support bracketry. The reason the brackets shown are still there is becaus IIRC you have to press the pulley off to remove them. Nickmil.

    Both are missing the rear support, and actually that's the most important part.

    mine looks like the 1980 one. It had an smog pump hooked up to it as well.

    Zed,

    Did you cut off the AC part of that PS bracket. Looks very similar to mine, or did it come like that?

    MIne looked like that but in my case it was the alternator bracket part that I cut off.
