I have a 94 f150 5.0 with a comp cam (35-349-8) and gt 40p heads. It runs great I love the cam and heads I was just wondering how to delete the smog pump and all the other stuff that goes with it (since heads have no holes in the back for emissions) without having the check engine light come on ?

 

you can remove anything related to the smog pump and no codes will be present.


there is nothing in the engine management system to sense that the air pump is functioning or not.


rip it off, get a smaller belt, sleep well at night.

 

One thing to keep in mind...you have to keep the TAB/TAD solenoids electrically connected to keep the computer happy.

For reference:

 

^^^ what he said, guess I shoulda been more specific.

 

It's all good!

 

youre just lookin for reasons to break out your fancy pics


here's one for ya, while we have a pic up, what is the purpose of the lil cylinder mounted on the coil bracket?

 

The Ford service manual refers to it as the "radio capacitor". It shunts the AC component (coil switching On/Off) from the supply voltage (DC) to ground. It prevents that AC component from creating noise in the radio audio circuits.

On points style ignition circuits it's part of the RC circuit to charge the coil. ON HEI ignitions like this vintage truck has it's there only for electrical noise suppression.


And yes............I like pictures!

 

Thanks for the info

 

makes sense. always wondered about it, never remembered to look it up.

 

Any idea on what belt length for a 302 with a/c?

 

I'm not sure if your 94 is the same as my 95,but I used a gatorback 4060915 when i did mine 3 years ago,haven't had a problem with it.
