Title: Spacers on 69 GT350 Auto, PS, PB, A/C
Post by: SChatman on January 13, 2019, 04:15:20 PM
I have two spacers that were with my A/C compressor and P/S pump mount bolts and I have no idea where they go, any thoughts? Pictures attached (I hope)

Typically used on non A/C or in some instances non P/S applications on water pump bolts to compensate for the AC and or P/S brackets . They don't have to be used when various accessories are used because the bracket takes up the same space.

To help illustrate what Bob was referring to

The thin spacers are the ones the OP is talking about are like the ones in my picture . AMK shows where they go in their bolt kits. I only had a 68 version handy.

Sorry thought you were referring to the thicker ones. The thinner ones were not used on small blocks with PS but without AC that year

Removed my pictures since they are not related to the question ;)
