It's possible the brackets are bent or maybe it could the wrong smog pump. I'm not 100% what years used a smog pump (my 93 doesn't have one) but you may want to try a local junk yard for a new bracket and grab the smog pump to compare with the one you have.

When in doubt..get the sawzall out..

If there is any run-out in it (wobble or play forward and backward) it will cause problems. This can be caused due to using the incorrect tool being used to remove it from one motor and put it on the next as the rubber mid section gets distorted. You can test it for run -out using a dial indicator if you can get a loan of one.

It sounds like a misalignment and/or a bad vibration problem. What's the belt look like? Has it stayed on long enough to show any unusual wear? | | | Re: Pulley misalignment? | Joined: Apr 2020 Posts: 7 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Apr 2020 Posts: 7 | I tried to loosen the air pump yesterday and make some adjustments to align it with the other pulleys but it didn't work. Today I purchased a new belt that doesn't use the smog pump and was able to get it on with having to take out the smog pump and now I get really see that the smog pump is pretty bad out of alignment. I'm thinking that the smog pump is the wrong one or the mount is bent. Until then I have bypassed the pump, but can anyone tell me if that is going give me problems. I wasn't able to test drive it I was only able to start it and let it run for a little while. I did notice that it backfires now when I give it quick throttle and let off. I would like to try and fix this issue and keep the smog pump hooked up so I don't have any issues with getting it smogged in the future.
