change of plans.  water pump is different too.  instead of 10 hours of moving water pump, changing intake, moving alternator to other side, belt changes, pulley changes-  going to just do a custom bracket and plop a second belt on with the PS pump on the passenger side. 


will get AN6 hydro line and standard return line.  done.  4 bolt box confirmed to be fine- had OEM bracket bolted to TDK frame.  non lift power pitman will be fine. 


such a cool jeep.  ed loves it!

I seem to recall running into issues while trying to mount the steering box and brackets Ed supplied within the holes provided in the TDK frame. The brackets were most likely not original.

are we sure its a 258?

early ones are funky...
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

its a 232 or 258.  its a factory 4 bolt box bracket that is two stamped plates.  Being a 73, it probably originally had the cast bracket that slides inside the frame like my 75 had- maybe thats what issue you had. 

the water pump is just different outlet- it points up instead of pointing down.


i think im all set.  just need to get a box and pump, ill make the line as it will be longer.

That's right. The 73 brackets would not slide inside the frame. So I used some I had from 80's parts CJs
