I need to replace my smog pump, I have already bought a new one and am ready to go, but I can't figure out for the life of me how it's mounted on the truck. I have a 1988 I6 300. The lower hole had a botl threaded into it, but I can't figure out what secures the top of the pump to bracket. IS it a nother bolt that the head is possibly sheared off of, or is it a pin of some sort? I just wanted to ask before I start tearing it up and break something

 

I had to cut my smog pump off because of seized/broken bolts.

 

What worked best for you, a sawzall? I just don't feel like screwing up the brackets since I am going to put a new one on to keep it legal for NJ

 

How much did you pay for a new one? I have everything pulled off the front of my 302 right now and was wondering if I should replace the smog pump while I'm there. It passed emissions a couple months ago so it should be working fine.

Does anyone make a rebuild kit for it?

 

I used a sawzall but the engine was out of the truck and I cut the bracket, not the pump. I had another bracket from the donor engine so I didn't care. Plus I had to make one good pump out of the two I had. Mine's just an idler though, I don't have inspections so it's not hooked up. I'm originally from Jersey, so I know how bad it sucks there.

 

I paid 60 for one on ebay...and yeah, my 300 is still in the truck and it doesn't have to be inspected till November, but I'd rather get it done sooner than later...and yeah emissions in Jersey sucks

 

look at the top i had a bolt but i had to take off the pulley to get to it. i got a 93 4.9l unless it is sheered of.
