Air pump? That useless eye sore that hide the beautiful motor that is under it?

Hi Todd,

Those are great, thank you! You also do not have the correct smog pump for a 1975 corvette, according to the NCRS manual. Of course, I believe the manual is wrong.

If you could get me one more picture, and this one is a bit tough. There is a date code on the backside of one of the bolt mounting flanges. You'll need a small mirror to see it. I've put an arrow on your picture of which mounting flange. Also below is a picture of what the date code looks like. It should be five numbers and a letter.

Hi Blame,
Since the "special hi-performance" engines, (LT-!, L-88, LS-6, ZL-1), got the air pump….that must be where the horsepower is !!!!!!.
Probably shouldn't be removed.
Regards,
Alan

I am definitely in the minority that love the "smog" equipment. I feel engine bays without their smog just look incomplete.

Besides, as Alan said, they must add horse power, all the cool big blocks have them!
