Has anyone ever used an electric smog pump in place of a belt driven smog pump and passed the visual inspection at emissions?

I can't find much information on electric smog pumps, I know they came on the SN95 Cobras, however I am not able to find a picture of the unit or how it mounted. I would like to free up that area for my turbo piping.
:D
 
Hey brah, you will not (or should not, unless you get a doofus) pass the visual down here.

That said, I once looked at using an E-pump just because my pump crapped itself (I was going to gut the stock pump and put the E-pump inside it). I never found one cheap enough to give it a try. I see no reason why it won't work. They often have an ingress port as well - I was going to put a filter on it and call it good.

Update the thread (or email me) with how this and your turbo project go. :nice:
 
That is definately not what I wanted to hear, looks like I am going to need a new smog pump bracket :bang:

Truthfully I haven't made much progress on this project yet, but in my defense I have also been doing a fox TB swap and valve cover polish at the same time. I don't have a digital camera that works at the moment, hopefully picking up one on sale the day after thanksgiving. :D When I get some pictures, I will try to post them.
 
im a pennsylvania emissions and saftey inspector and and electric smog pump will not pass the visual inspection here. it has to be OE quality. sorry:notnice: but if you travel less than 5,000 miles a year you are for an exemption which means that it dosent matter what emissions equipment you do or do not have.:nice:
