    getting ready to remove the smog pump, lines, etc from my 92 gt motor. i know this is a basic "newb" question but on the back of the heads, where the two hard smog lines bolt up to the heads, what do i put there once i remove them to keep anything from going into the heads

    I've seen someone on here use a Spark plug (it's apparently the same thread).

    Otherwise I know on mine the guy before me just cut the tubes off the piece that bolts to the back of the head (left about 1/2" of tube) and brazed/soldered the tube shut, seems to work fine for me.

    Or if you got access to some steel I'm sure you could make a little piece to cover those holes up.

    Trickflow makes a plug for them too and the spark plug guy was funny. He said he was going to tell ricers it was a v10. :doh:

    The thread for the back of the head is a 5/8 course thread. Shouldn't be to hard to find. I used to use a 1" long 5/8" bolt in them. I use set screws now. It's not a tapered thread.

    I did but I don't have an original ac car. If you don't have ac and need a part number for the belt tell me.

    I just gutted my pump. I took the smog pump off the car, opened it up and removed the vanes, then put it all back together and back on the car. Simple, easy, and free.

    :agree: also a good option. I only removed it and ran the short belt because I wanted to lose weight as I don't give a shit driving a gutted street car. I allready have a DD

    Ok here's the part # 725K6 is the belt. It fit mine perfect and it still hasn't streched enough to come in contact with the wp pulley, so it should work great fo rall you non orig.A/C guys
