gt-40 head ?
hey i got my motor in but i cant bolt up the power steering pump because the double threaded (thread on both ends) bolt that the power steering pump goes on is too small. i know this hole in the head doubles as the smog tube hole. can you put a head on the wrong side doesn't seem possible. anyone with gt40 experience please help thanks.

RE: gt-40 head ?
are you trying to say that the hole in the head is too big?
Because if you are, you may have installed the heads backwards from how they were installed previously...
Anyway, you need Thermactor plugs that will adapt down to the proper size, you can get them on summit

just ordered them hope they work.
is this common i know alot of people run gt40s but have any of you ran into this problem and had to use these adaptors?
these will alow me to mount the power steering pump using the stock long as bolt that is threaded on both sides correct?

had you taken your time doing it, there wouldnt have been any issues. You probably had excessive carbon build up in the threads, which you could have cleaned out with a 5/8" tap
