1985 f150 302 efi 4sp 4x4 smog equip needed???
 

hi
i just got a 1985 f150 302 efi 4sp 4x4 and i was sweating bullets wondering if it needs a smog pump or someone just removed the a/c. ???????
there are no ports for air inj on the exh manifolds and it has factory dual exhaust w/ cats.
any help would be appreciated

Looking at the engine from the front of the vehicle the smog pump is mounted lower left while the AC compressor is top right.


That is a HD truck thing, F150s got a tube across the back of the motor plumbed into ports in the heads.

There are no factory dual exhaust systems so if you have one it's not stock... but then it's a 25 year old truck so it's not surprising the factory exhaust is gone.

thanks for the info !

Pictures would help. The lower left, like mentioned, is the smog pump. I removed the belt from mine and haven't noticed any problems. So, I left it off. But, some pictures would show us what you are looking at if you can do that. Your 85 and my 86 are the same since they are both EFI. At least the same under the hood.

hey i know what a smog pump is....
