Bill:

I appreciate the pics. However, I think that is a modified bracket set that originally came on a low horse small block with the 7 inch balancer. It looks almost exactly like the set up on my 68 El Camino, which was originally a 307 car. When I installed the 350, I had to modify the lower bracket (cradle) similar to how yours is modified. That front hole on the cradle used to be a complete circle. It has been cut back to clear an 8 inch balancer.

I think very few L79's had power steering from the factory, and that is why I can't find any pics of the correct set up installed.

Lynn, the NOS lower bracket that I posted is listed in the parts book revised Aug. 1, 1967, group 6.606. It has not been modified after the fact.
Tomorrow I will get a pic from one of my '67 L79 cars using the exact same bracket and post it.
The upper bracket that I posted is common to all small block Chevelles. - Bill
