These are both type brackets. They are identical.



If the pump you have doesn't fit then you have the wrong pump.

I would like to know where I can buy a pulley and mounting bracket if you have any ideas. Google is not showing much for the part #'s you listed here.

Thank you for your time.
Those are the part #'s I used off of a 92 E150 w/4.9L Auto and A/C. They are contrary to what is being said here, different part #'s than what I have on my 90 F-150 with 4.9L Auto and A/C. I ran into that same problem with my set up. If you want I can post up the part #'s on my 90 for comparison. Google might not find much because there might not be aftermarket replacements.

Trust me, they can be different. If it carries a different part # through Ford and does not supersede to the same # they are different some how

You mentioned on Page 1 that the belt is wrapped tight at the alternator.... I took off my smog pump too but you belt is run a different route. On mine I ran the alternator to the tensioner pulley up over the pwr steering pump down to A/C compresser, then over to the fan/water pump pully, down to the harmonic balancer then back to the alternator, you seem to have the alternator run to the fan pulley then to the harmonic balancer, over to the A/C up to the Pwr steering then Tensioner back to alternator. I followed the original routing minus the smog pump. I don't know If that way makes a difference as long as its tight it shouldn't have a problem.

They are different part numbers because the F150 doesn't get the Saginaw pump, the whole reason for the upgrade. Doesn't anyone read anything?

I don't have a/c so my belt is ran differently. I would figure out something else if I did have a/c because the belt barely touches the compressor when ran one direction.

Correct, but I have seen in previous F150's that have 2 different kinds of A/C compressors but have the same part # for the bracket since they mount the compressor the same. The reason that the brackets have different numbers is that the pump mounting holes are in different locations.....The pump pulley is also different as well.

I already did the upgrade and made the swap over to the part numbers I posted. I appreciate the idea that you guys posted as it gave me a direction to go in my upgrade,however you are not posting all the correct information as it cost me an extra $75 outside of my budget(at the time) to buy the correct bracket for the swap

I'm sorry, you're talking about the bracket not the pump. Yes I stated the differences in the brackets in my original post. Just the compressor bolt hole threads are different which means the a/c compressors have different sized bolt holes.

Compressor holes were the same on the ones I have, it was where the p/s pump itself bolted into the bracket that is different. That was the problem I ran into

Default tweaking the pressure lines

You mentioned you had to 'tweak' the E150 pressure lines to fit the F150 at the steering box. What specifically did you have to do? I take the E150/saginaw pump lines fit the F150 steering box, but the F150 pressure lines do not fit the saginaw pump?

I just had to bend it to fit better.
