Underdrive pulleys+smog pump delete= ??
 
I just finished installing underdrive pulleys and deleting all the smog. I am trying to make a 90.5" belt work, but I am not sure its going to happen.

Has anyone done this with success? Do the Mustang smog pump eliminators fit? I know I can gut the OEM pump but I don't want that thing back on my truck.

I am going to figure this out, just wondering if anyone else has traveled this road. Truck info in signature.:thumbup:

I want to do the same thing. How about posting the belt part number.

Thanks,

I did buy a shorter belt. However the way the tensioner works it leaves no room for error. I had to stretch a 90.5" on. I do mean stretch!:unsure:

ive also wondered what removing the smog stuff does to your fuel mileage? as far as not recirculating those gases?

I really don't care about fuel mileage, but I do know hot exhaust gasses are not good for an engine wanting cool/fresh air. My truck pulls really hard and drive ability has improved.:thumbsup:

why not get a 91.5 or a 92.5 belt...?

stretching one on the hard way is only going to make other things wear faster...the belt done give as much and the water pump will prolly go shortly....

I put the A/C delete pulley on mine from Summit. The Smog pump is still on but not being used hose cut- off in the back. I also thought about the stang pulley delete?? Not sure if it is in the same location- never really looked. As far as the A/C delete pulley I bought - I had to make spacers & get longer bolts to mount to the new bracket to the existing A/C bracket and to fit the normal stock belt as mine would not get tight enough- you would have thought the delete pulley would be the same distance???. It really just starts cleaning the engine bay up.:blush:

Well for those who do care about gas mileage, does a smog pump delete really help at all?
