saginaw swap

[chulo2004]

im working on my saginaw swap but ran into a problem. for some reason the line from the ac compressor sits right on top of the steering pump cap! the only way i can put the cap back on is if i force into place. looking at other forums about the swap mi noticed that their pumps were in the clear of that ac line. did i forget to do something? i got the set up from a 95 e-150 351. my bronco is a 91 w/ 351 as well. here is a picture of what im talking about. its not the actual pic of my bronco but its the same set up. when looking at the pic, you'll see the line comimng from the compressor. in my situation, that line sits right on top.

The GM/Saginaw "canned ham" pump is a tough pump. It also make more pressure than the Thompson pumps Ford used in most applications. If you look hard enough, especially at heavy duty trucks, vans, or large cars with hydroboost brakes, you will find Ford used these pumps too.
