I'm putting my smog pump back on since i'm running a catted pipe. I managed to pick up the complete setup off a guy locally. Just missing a couple peices.

The large bolt that is the main support bolt for the pump. What size is it? I think it's a 7/16 coarse. How long is it? I need to pick one up at a hardware store.

The vacuum lines that operate the valve. Where do they come off of? Seems i removed them and have no idea where they once went. I think they came off a pair of vacuum solenoids on the rear of the pass strut tower? If so, can someone snap some pics? I'll need to pick some up so i can get the pump installed again before I install my Magnaflow catted H-pipe.

the two solenoids are on the passenger fender behind the tower.

for the bolt, just take a tape measure to the bracket, or to the pump itself and add about a 1/2 inch.

Thanks, now i know where the two lines go. Prob is i guess i yanked one side of the vac line that goes to the bypass and diverter valve out so now i need to replace it. I wonder if i can use a double sided barb and some vacuum hose instead of tracking down the OEM stuff??

I guess that leads me to which solenoid goes where? I have two on the strut tower. One on the pass side and one closer to the driver. Which goes to the bypass valve, and which goes to the diverter?
