Wow .... it seems I start a thread about almost everything I do, lol. I just wanted to ask what pulleys you guys are going with that are high quality.

I noticed that the pulley UPR has says that "some clearancing of the bracket may be necessary to clear the alternator". Any pulleys out there that don't require any modification?

Justin,
I bought the UPR smog delete pulley for my car last summer. It bolted right up NO problems! It looks great to with a pollished finish also. You will see when you get the bracket that the back edge is rounded off in order to clear the alt. bracket. That is the reason I went with UPR, because I wouldn't have to modify the bracket (I'm not sure where you read that modification would be necessary on a UPR) like the other ones that they sell on e-Bay. Seriously, you won't be disapointed with UPR's smog pump delete at all.

i have the upr, mine didn't come with the edge rounded it was square, a few minutes with a dremel, rounded it, and it fit perfect, this was the only snag i had and haven't had any trouble with it since it went on.

I have the UPR one and it is clearanced for 94-95. Nice piece, although I haven't put it one yet. The lower bolt holding the old pump in is totally seized, I messed my wrist up pretty badly trying to get it out.

Main reason I wanted the pulley instead of the short belt I have now, is due to the stress on the tensioner. It's also totally blocking the timing marker from view.

Supposedly there will be a very small gain .... but not a SOTP gain. I'm just interested in losing the weight of the smog crap + the extra clearance the delete will give.

sometimes you can't get just the right size belt on w/o the pulley, i ran a shorter belt, and no matter what, i couldn't get it to quit sqeeling in rainy weather or on startup..... Tensioner is in good shape as well... one belt would be too short, and one would be a hair to long. and would squeel, now i have the perfect sized belt, right amount of tension, i must add i have the ac and smog deleted.

I had that same problem with that lower bolt. I don't think that they usually recommend this technique, but fasten your boxed end of your wrench to it and kick it with your heel. It's probably an easy way to snap a bolt, but that was my last resort and worked. That or try looping another boxed end wrench into the open end of your wrench hooked to the bolt for more leverage.

When I feel like messing with it again, I think I'm going to see if I can get an impact wrench in there. I thought of the second wrench thing, but I couldn't find one that would work. May have to buy or borrow another one.
