Or you can send yours to Bill Hodel (billhodel@sbcglobal.net) who restores original smog pumps to NCRS standards.

They have a pretty strict Emissions inspections there in NC as I recall. Dont you hafta have it completely stock? I sold a highly modified Trooper to a buddy up there and he had a helluva time getting it thru the inspection.

Yes, the inspections here are a bit strict. But, I do not have to have emissions testing done with the 85. There was a cut off year for emissions inspections -- I do not remember what that year model was. However, the inspectors do look under the hood for components. If you get an a__ hole inspector, expect trouble. That is why I am choosing to keep it original -- at least original looking.

Got a NAPA (better quality?) rebuilt for $40 in GA. for an 87. Looked like new quite as a mouse, been on for about 2yrs now with no problems.
The thing is about the same for millions of GM cars. It's not a speciality corvette part.

I got the pump for my 85 from Napa. As I recall it cost $90.
