I was tellin one of my emissions failure stories to a local mechanic (while BS ing over coffee), about the problems with the air pump on my "76. He suggested using an electric one off a late model Camaro. Said that he had seen it done but couldn"t remember what year car it was off of. Anyone ever try this solution?

Wouldn't work in CA, you'd fail the visual for not having the original smog pump.
The late model GM smog pumps are electric, but they only run during open loop (during warmup). I doubt they would last long if run continuously. If you want to give it a try, I know a 1993 firebird has one. |
