As part of my hydroboost install I have changed the reservoir, and when I took the pump off I discovered that the bracket was busted, so I did a little welding and what I *thought* was straightening 
and ...well, short story, the pump is off kilter, methinks, and whines like a sumb!tch even at idle when bled. 
I can see how it's tweaked by the old "visual inspection", so it's bad. However, the local Pick-N-Pull had no brackets like mine ('74 big block) and I fear going to the dealer ... so, I think I've screwed the pooch.
I am thinking that I might be able to get the pulley back in line with the water pump, etc by putting a washer behind the bracket ... is this a really, really bad idea, and I should beg y'all to send me a replacement bracket ... or is it doable, d'ya think?
