Default 84 Questions

Hello, All!

I have an '84 Z51 with 88K and I have some questions for the group.

1) Has anyone else with an '84 installed the air-pump eliminator pulley? I have read that you need to install a power steering bracket from an '85, but wondered if anyone else had done this and been lucky. Also, how obvious was the improvement?

2) I probably know the answer to this one, but has anyone used "high milage" type oil for their Vettes?

Thanks for the help, gang!

Jason :steering:

I eliminated the air pump altogether and went with a shorter belt. It was a 85" belt. :yesnod:

It is difficult to find an 85" belt? I've only ordered belts by year make and model..Great idea though and you've already tested it!!! :cheers:

That doesn't cause a problem with emisions?

You shouldn't have any trouble getting your hands on the right belt ! ! !

go to a good parts store- most belts are cataloged by their type and length. I think I had one that was S75 or something, for serpentine 75 inches...

shouldn't be too hard anyway, with the right salesman.
