what I got in the mail today
I need to go to emmissions test again soon.
so with all my stock emissions stuff gone. ripped the air pump, ACV, and the whole vac rack off.
so this came in the mail today
93+ LT1 corvette electric smog pump. mount it somewhere. stick a breather filter on the "IN" run heater hose outa the "OUT" and connect to the metal pipe going to the cat. (not to the cat itself it'll just melt the hose, need the middle metal peice that goes to the firewall)
wire it up with a switch in the car. pull up to test, flip the switch. should be good with all stock stuff removed 8) 8)
we'll find out soon.
got it off ebay for $35usd

Nice, as you know I put back on the airpump and just ran a hose straight to the cat. If this works, I'll just hook up a switch in the car and buy a lt1 electric air pump. I hate messing with the air pump and the belts.

Guys, it does work. I was the first to do it two years ago and it worked exceptionally well.

I was playing with it today. and it seems to fit perfect in the pass firewall corner. even with the charcoal can, cruise control, and ABS
I never figured I'd get it in there without removing something.

switched 12v from the wiper harness to relay. (a wire that doesn't even go into the motor. just ends 
) oh well means the wipers won't stop working if something goes wrong. a plus 
still need to run hose to the cat. and wire the switch in the car.

abarlas: Seems like you're trying to jack this thread from Scott. That's weird that Autozone didn't have any. The one here had a feet or two sold in plastic packages. They also had bulk in the back when I asked for it. Not sure what else is up there in Chi-town. How about trying Pep Boys, O'Reillys... or dealer (for a bend-over)? I got some silicone tubes off the internet also.
This actually pump piqued my interest, since I also ripped off emissions stuff... but wait, I have no cat, so dammit!

Scott 89t2:
Where does the outlet hose go from the pump? Did you attach it to the split air pipe (the pipe that leads to the cat)
I'm very interested if you pass emission.

the pump will work fine as long as my cat is still good. that is my only concern.
