I have a 1979 Scout II 345, 727. I want to get a new hood strut and a ps pump but I need help identifying which ones to get...

The choices for the hood strut are "3 bolt" and "5 bolt", but mine looks to have 4. Pic below.

The power steering pump options are for a bolt on pulley or press on pulley. Pics are below.

If the pics do not show up properly, they are the only ones in my user gallery and can be seen there. Thanks for the help! I'd like to get these ordered right away.

When I tried installing the hood strut, the small piece that screws into the top of the strut snapped. Any chance I could get another one of those? Everything else is fine. Below isapicture of it.

welcome to flickr!


Besides that the strut kit and ps pump are great and just what I needed. Thanks,

Jared,

we can certainly get another end out to you. Were there any directions with the kit or did we forget to send them? Upon the initial shutting of the hood, you need to carefully lower it to make sure the strut isn't bottoming out. If it does, the end result is the strut and/or one of the ends snaps. Adjustment is done via changing the position of the piece that bolts to the hood slot. I'll get the end and directions sent out to you via usps. Thanks.
 
Thanks!
There were no directions for the hood strut installation. It seemed simple, but I might have done somethign wrong. I shut the hood very slowly aand carefully the first time but it didn't even get close to all the way shut when it popped so I do not believe the strut bottomed out. This was my observation; hope it helps.
