Re: 72 big block a/c bracket question
ok, found my answer. It's what I was afraid of.... Yes, it's the smog pump mount. My Lord that is one ugly hunk o crap right on top of the engine....
Ok, this begs the next big question for some of you native Californians... Is a 72 vehicle subject to smog check (I think the answer is no), BUT, if the vehicle originally had a smog pump, is it required to retain it? And how would/could this be caught? The ochre truck clearly had one - and the build sheet calls it out as well. But if the brackets were changed to the 49 state a/c brackets, is there any way to know it would have been a smog engine?? Bottom line - do I need to locate a smog pump to register this thing in CA?
My goodness that is hideous.
