Default AIR pump delete

Bracket for my smog pump broke. Where is the best place to get a delete pulley ? TPIS has it for $158 shipped on ebay. Anyone get a better deal ??

I have one of there delete set-ups, they are worth it you should be able to re-use your stock belt also. Did you try looking for a use bracket?

Used bracket $75 local, $60 ebay. TPIS $158. All the tubes and stuff are long gone so its just a pulley now anyway. Looking at all my options.

Agent 86 has the dimensions for a delete bracket if your handy or have a resourse. If not those used deals sound pretty good. The $158 for what it actually is is kinda outrageous but count me as one who spent the money for one. I also ended up using a 1" shorter belt on my 85 L98.

I do like the look of the TPIS set-up under the clam
If your old air stuff is gone then get one

TPIS delete pully is THE BEST money I spent in along time. Adds no power but it made the GUTTED A.I.R. pump quiet even after I lubed it up....Very nice and seems to be sturdy...even though it has a plastic pully. No issues here but did have to get a shorter belt but I needed a new one anyway...

Thanks guys. I went ahead and paid $75 for the bracket. It was just too easy, since Taber is only 5 minutes away. If the pump goes, I will regret not getting the delete pulley.

Thats nice of you. It was sort of an impulse thing. It kills me to wait on parts when I dont absolutely have to. Of course the $75 Vs $158 came into it also. Thanks anyway.

No need for a delete on a 75. Just a different belt.
