LRS only has one listed, and it is remanufactured by A1 Cardone, no part #, but it does not include the pulley.
Summit racing has 2 listed, both by A1 cardone, with different part numbers... but i dont understand the application chart.
Summits are quite a bit cheaper, $89 or 109, while LRS is priced at $124.

I am a fan of LRS and id prefer to deal with them if the difference is 109-124, but if i can save $35 with summit and only spend 89, i'd be stupid not to.

--Can anyone help identify which is right for my 1990 5.0? thanks in advance!

Well, the 94-95 pump is different than the 87-93 pump. Unsure if that's what they mean

I don't know where you're located, but my local parts store carries that unit for $83+10 core...

edit: just re-read...special order part, but it would only take two to three days to get there, and there would be no shipping costs.

Unless you live in CA or any other state that mandates you retaining all emissions equipment, the best smog pump is no smog pump at all. Just delete it and run a shorter belt.

A bypasses smog pump wont cause car to run like crap.

You need the pump for emissions, but run your codes and look for another issue

im sure the zone has the right parts available, but they would probably hand me one for another kind of car. I cant believe how many times my local autozone has sold the wrong parts to either my friends or I, yet i still go back for the basics out of sheer convenience.

Wow-man that sucks. I've been patronizing my local AZ for about 15 years, and they've never handed me a wrong part.
