Help w/ smog/AIR pump
Here in NC our inspection has gotten more strict and my truck was just rejected for not having an AIR Pump. I didn't even know my '77 F100 ever had one. I'm having trouble locating the components at the salvage yards and I can only find some of the components in catalogues. Do you know any place I can find the complete system sold as a kit new or used?

Depends on the engine, the original state, and whether or not the engine is manual or auto. F100s were full pollution control tho. So it's 50-50.

The only component you want from the salvage yard is the engine mounting bracket. Luckily, the other components can be purchased easily (air bypass valve, air pump, and check valve, unless it's a 300, in which instance, you got something else, maybe) and you can just piece it together. No one sells a complete system that I've ever heard of.
