Can't imagine living in a place were you have to have those on and hooked up.
#1. Move out of Cali.
#2. Remove pump and never look back.
Emisssion Laws suck.
Just a joke about moving out of Cali. I know what it's like to have to be were the money is. I'm glad i don't have worry about that any more.

I'm just going to pull the pump and run without it till smog time. Till then I'll put it apart and clean it up. This is a serpentine setup, so the pumps are just a tad different and much harder to find. 
If I have to, I'll gut the internals and just let the pulley spin.
That's 1.5 years away, no worries.

What is this SMOG inspections you speak of?

Too bad you're running a serpentine. Mine came with a separate belt just for the air pimp.

I meant to say pump. Air pump.

Here you go Adam
Pump pulls in air from just behind the pulley. Compresses and sends it through that diverter valve, which is bolted to the back of the air pump. From there, depending on electrical and vacuum input, it either sends it to the exhaust manifolds or to the air cleaner.
Pulley is currently removed.
Interesting.
No filtration system in it? Seems like dust would clog it up and ruin it in no time.

nope, nothing. That's kinda why in the junkyards they are all frozen up
this one, is very frozen up and will be very hard to find. Kinda of a bastard year, fullsize c1500, with v6.
Even my 2001 S10 has a pump, but it's electric.

I'm an idiot. The idler pulley has a "standoff" that holds the pulley straight and spaces it off the accessory bracket inline with the other pulleys. The standoff looked like it was molded into the bracket and didn't come off with the pulley. Well today, while I was cleaning all the melted belt off the other pulleys, I pushed the standoff with my finger. POP it came off and fell to the ground.
The look on my face must have been priceless. The thing was stuck with age only, no key-way, indent, nothing. It never came off when I took it off the original truck in the junkyard either. MFing hell man. Finished the clean up, installed idler in new location, put new belt on, and fired it up. Sweet
While returning the 2 new belts I got for the truck (wrong length now) YES, I picked up a spare for my new setup. Though looking back, a spare wouldn't have helped anyway.

Friction and grime seem to hold a lot of things together on these old trucks. Don't clean anything too hard or it may fall off.
Lol, yeah I don't know how Teck manages to keep his rig on the road

I think he kept it clean over the years and took really good care of it. His "before" pics of when he started the restoration show a pretty nice truck to start with.
The other day I was complaining to wife because I my brake vacuum booster had died just one week after I had fixed a leaky fuel line and a bad vacuum line going to the modulator on the trans. I was saying "what else can you expect from a machine that's 30 years old?" and she reminded me that in a way it wasn't really that old because I've changed at least half the parts on it in the 7 years since I bought it. Pretty soon only the frame and some of the body will be original.

Lame update but stoked to be able to tow my SeaDoo now. Heading up for some weekday camping soon. I need some time off and the lake I'm going to is way too busy on weekends. Get a couple nights sleep under a tent, campfire, little offroading, and screwing around on the lake.
Finally received my 16" solid drop mount after some manufacturer drama. Has provisions for lateral support bars which bolt to the spine. I will be making something soon for that, but for the light SeaDoo trailer it's not necessary.

Nice door.
where did you get the hitch from?

Not sure if I want to advertise. I only got it because I filed a claim with Paypal and my CC company. Had NO communication until then.
Nice piece though.
I haven't done anything with the doors so the stuff hasn't gone anywhere

That sucks but glad you got it now.

Just remember to take it off when you're not using it. Your shins will thank you.
no joke, but my little truck takes victims all the time. It will never come off though, saved me from a couple rear enders. It can rattle and bruise shins all it wants.
The leverage on this 16" drop however, would do frame damage if hit. So when I'm getting the drop down tire carrier made, I'm going to have a "mini hitch" storage integrated into the tire carrier. My pintle hoop stays in the hitch.

I've been wanting to double check my timing for a while now. Some time ago I had to pull the dizzy and simply marked the base. At the time, my timing light didn't work and just timed it by ear. This was back when I was playing with springs and stops on the MSD dizzy. I just had this feeling in the back of my head. Last time I tried to find the timing mark, I couldn't with a new light. I chalked it up to my balancer not having a mark. (Since this was a new balancer and hadn't timed it myself yet)
So the other day I picked up another new light, so I could have an advance read out. Tonight I tried again to check timing. Well I was wrong, the balancer has a mark and I couldn't find it before because it was so far advanced. Think vertical at idle.After setting the idle advance on the timing light, it came out to 25* advance at idle. 
No wonder I was getting light pinging under heavy load.
Set it at 14* advance and readjusted all the FAST parameters so the fuel was up to pair. I still need to fix my rear axle breather (tire grabbed it and melted a hole) and replace my bent TRE. I'm wondering how the sucker is going to run now. I'll more than likely have to change springs now, the stops are probably fine.
