Hello Johannes, before you read my post I´d like to mention that I´m NOT an expert on this specific tensioning bracket and I have not heard of the possible cure of your problem you have mentioned. Nevertheless here are my thoughts: From the geometry of the shafts and pulleys it would mean that if the belt rubs on the water pump shaft that you are too high/close to centre. Generally I would asume, that if the bracket is correct and properly mounted it should limit the angle, by design. Please check: Does it have the rubber bumper Bob mentions? Is bracket bolted correctly? Any sign that slots have been worked on to extend the angle? Compare the Diameter of the pulley, as it might be to large. When running, does it rub all the time or just when you accelerate (slack)? – When it´s only slack, give more tension to the belt. An easy and cheap trial for curing the problem is using a slightly shorter belt, so when it is tensioned the angle is not that steep. Hope you can fix that fast and have your car on the road. Spring has already arrived 😉. Best Lars Von: chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Im Auftrag von johannes schmitz-valckenberg Dear 300 Club members meanwhile i got o kit of servopump substitute and ready for assembly. The video below , i got from Danny is a big help. My question is: if i push the pump upwards - as described in the video- the belt touches/rubs the central fan shaft. There are also marks from former mounted belt. I slightly remember, that this was also discussed here at a time; but do not remember the solution, how to assemble without the belt touching/rubbing the central fan shaft. do you have a advice for this ? thanks a lot again. hope to bring the car on the street this week Best regards to you Johannes Von: dplotkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <dplotkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hallo JoHannes! https://www.rockauto.com/ has a listing for power steering pump, 1964 Chrysler 383 as well as a 1967 Chrysler and the part number is the same for both. These pumps can be tricky to adjust if you are unaware of the nature of the self tensioning bracket. Bob Merritt has produced a spectacularly useful video of how that works here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boTnyF4n4TY Good luck! Danny Plotkin East Longmeadow MA USA -----Original Message----- Hallo 300 club members Johannes from Germany writing. Hope you all are good around the world. as i already mentioned some month ago, i have sealing problems with my servopump and got also here by you advice for this special sealing set for this pump. now i dismounted the pump and sent to a specialist in restoring servopumps and steering gears in the north of Germany. They called me back this friday and told me, that the polydisc is disformed close to the axle and no chance to seal it. having done internet research, i hardly find information , just found a restored pump for 1350 Euros ( !!) in Germany, writing , that this will fit to a chrysler 383 cui 1967 my questions are:
