Mine was disconected. Whenever truck starts it made a snap burst of air sound. I plumbed lines back on and that sound was gone. The air pump connected makes an awful growling sound. I pulled hoses off. What is its purpose, and what is that piece the 2 tubes connect to? Truck drives fine without.

Idler Pulley
I have an 87 F150 5.0L E4OD 2WD XLT Lariat.
I want to install the pulley. What years will work on my engine? Will I have to modify anything?
Thank you!

Perhaps someone else can answer that, but if I were you I'd either go to the yard and get one cheap to try it out... or get one from Summit Racing, since you can call and have them verify it fits your engine before you spend $$.

Idler Pulley
I wish I knew which years work but unfortunately I don't, and you have a 302 where I have a 351. I *doubt* that the mounting is any different, but I can't say that it'll bolt right up on your engine either.

I hope to make it to the boneyard tomorrow. They have been crushing some trucks even though there are several parts for us guys. I do not know what will be there tomorrow. There were (3) 87-88's that I was using for parts and if they are gone I am outta luck except for an Idler Pulley that I want.

That's the EVAP canister. It likely has charcoal in it. It's purpose is to keep gas fumes from escaping from the tanks to the air. The tank vent lines run through it. It's completely different from the air pump being talked about here.

That ebay listing is for Proform part # 68110.
Summit Racing shows it as applicable to your engine. And $3 cheaper too.

So yes it should bolt right up on your bracket where the smog pump used to go, and use the existing belt.
