Smog pump is dead, idle pulley options (1 Viewer)

[mathblaster]

I have a 2f from an '86 fj60 in my Fj40. It is desmogged and I had the smog pump it place just to tension the water pump belt. The smog pump bit the dust, and now I'm looking for a good, budget replacement. I did try gutting the pump and that didn't make a difference.

I think I can put another alternator there, but I need some bracket from an F engine, anybody know what bracket and years it might be? Otherwise I guess I'm looking at the SOR idler pulley.

Thanks in advance

Does your gutted smog pump spin freely. I took every thing out of one, it does not seem anything could ever go wrong with it in its current state. What is yours doing now?

I think Mark A. (Mark's OffRoad in Burbank) has a smog pump replacement pulley too. (?)

2 options

Classic Cruisers in Salida, CO (or is it Buena Vista?)
has idlers as does Spectre Offroad. The Classic Cruiser option is cheaper.

I took the impeller veins out, and cleaned out the shrapnel and other grime. When the end cover is off, it spins freely. But when I put the end cover on it binds up. The roller bearings looked to be in decent shape. Maybe I did something during reassembly and it isn't centered properly or something. I'll take another look at it in the morning.

I still want to figure out how to put an alternator in its place, its always nice to have a few options.

You can use a gm replacement alt that will fit in the same bracket as the smog pump. Pull off the pump and put in the new alt. I used a "one wire" set up so I would not have to mess with running it into the harness. Here is the thread with info on what parts.

I made mine. Boneyard provided the pulley.

Jim C. builds an idler. His is about $100.
