Cleaning up an old smog delete bracket for the wife’s new rig. The question is should I pull the old air pump and install this bracket or just remove the pulley and install the 94.5” belt and bypass? The latter sure sounds a lot easier!

How are they?swapped header gaskets..out with the old..

one word for you...amazing..How are they?
They look thick - I assume they crush when you torque down?one word for you...amazing..
can't believe what a difference they made.. 0 leaks, from underneath, I can actually hear the valve train in the engine over the exhaust..
yes, they crush..you tighten starting with the inner most bolts and moving out, that way you spread the pressure evenly across the gasket. they're only supposed to get 20 ft lbs of final torque, you don't want to overcrush...after a few heat cycles I went back and retightened just to make sure everything was still snug.They look thick - I assume they crush when you torque down?
No sir he didn’t. Just said he’s had several customers have bad stomper service or lack there of from there and due to that, he stopped recommending or ordering them for customers.That's an interesting claim on the red-head. I had a problem with the one I ordered for my '73 F250 a few years back. Called 'em up, told them there was an issue but I wouldn't be able to deal with it for another month or two but wanted the issue on record. They said no problem, just call in when you're ready to swap it out. I paid return, they shipped the replacement for free... and we all lived happily ever after, as far as that was concerned.
Did he give you any specifics on the problems? Blue top's just fine from what I've heard but I'm curious.
If you haven’t ordered one yet, I recommend picking up a heavy duty headlight harness from JBG. To get the power you want out of those HIDs, they’ll need all the current you can give them and you don’t want to have it run through the headlight switch first. This way, the switch simply flips the relays instead of closing the circuit for the direct headlight power. It’s $35 well spent....I ordered a super nice set of custom HID Projector headlights and led tail lights from outlaw led’s last night.
What a freaking stud!! Congrats!Put the winter bonnet back on it!![]()
Also got this yesterday - venison for the fridge - sweet!
