Smog pump/ Air pump??

tutman900 · October 17th, 2009, 04:02 PM

Is the smog pump and the air pump the same thing? I here about getting a shorter belt and bypassing the smog pump, and on my sticker under the hood it says its an air pump, and i just want to make sure they are the same thing. Also what exactly does that pump do???

tutman900 · October 17th, 2009, 04:10 PM

Ok never mind the first question, does anyone know the part number and brand of the belt that i would need for bypassing the smogpump. from the diagram i saw i need the 84.5" belt.

Autozone belt # 850k6 850mm long 6 rib

tutman900 · October 17th, 2009, 08:12 PM

Ok, so i got the new belt and put it on, but i cant figure out how to tighten the belt tensioner?? i thought i would just tighten the bolt back down and it would tighten the belt but i guess i was wrong. is there a certain tool i need or what????

Wtf? Did you remove the tensionor? You don't take a bolt off to remove the belt, you just twist the tensioner up

mustangmad · October 17th, 2009, 08:41 PM

lol i guess you should of ask that question to.

Chris951 · October 17th, 2009, 08:41 PM

The tensionor is self tensioning. and I would recommend a Gatorback belt, Part No. 4060835. It's 83.5" and it's what I'm running with my smog pump deleted. The 84.5" squeeled and wasn't tight enough

tutman900 · October 17th, 2009, 08:56 PM

what do you mean by self tensioning? I had loosened the nut on the tensioner but i didnt take it off. i had to pry it up to get it loose enought to get the belt up. it is all the way loose now and it wont tighten back up. I got the 84.5" belt.

Chris951 · October 17th, 2009, 09:03 PM

It tensions itself and no removal of bolts is needed...

tutman900 · October 17th, 2009, 09:06 PM

ok, im an idiot, i see what you mean. i only needed to pry it up to get the belt off. When i put the new belt on it was too big and didnt tighten at all, i thought i needed to tighten the tension pulley, i just need a smaller belt i guess

mustangmad · October 17th, 2009, 09:16 PM

what years ur stang?

94blakonblak · October 17th, 2009, 09:18 PM

Is the 83.5 inch the same for Sn95?? I'm still running mine unhooked and I can hear the damn thing ticking

mustangmad · October 17th, 2009, 09:19 PM

You cant just bypass on SN95

tutman900 · October 17th, 2009, 09:47 PM

its a 90, i got the gatorback belt 83.5" and it works, the other belt was to big and wouldnt even have any tension on it when i put it on.

mustangmad · October 17th, 2009, 09:52 PM

the one i'm running on my 93 is 84.5'" my bad

tutman900 · October 17th, 2009, 10:30 PM

according to the diagram in one of these forums it says to use the 84.5, and from what i was told that the motors from 95 on down are pretty much the same, so i dont know why it would be different.

mustangmad · October 17th, 2009, 10:36 PM

is it a 95 motor?

tutman900 · October 17th, 2009, 10:40 PM

i have a 90 motor the diagram said all fox bodys, and i was told that the engines from 95 on down were pretty much the same. maybe i was ill informed??

mustangmad · October 17th, 2009, 10:41 PM

Ok on the 94 and 95 you can"t bypass because water pump spins opposite dir just making sure man

dr.gonzo · October 17th, 2009, 10:42 PM

I went against the grain of what everyone else said. I just unbolted the tensioner and drilled a hole for that little nub on the back to fit in. Now I can unbolt it and rotate it if I have to use a belt that is too loose. Works great, no complaints here.
