picked up this smog or A.I.R. pump for a rebuild. I was told it came from a 1987 corvette. typical part numbers for the fan - 7838710, rear casting - 7834922, and a date code/identifier 8085GM/A2A. not sure how to read the code-identifier. can anyone identify this puppy?

couple more shots - a little "show-n-tell." another old case -- left to right - white scotch-bright/wenol, blasted (center), and before... second pic - a little hard to show the texture/color difference - looks better in person. the WSB/wenol gives it that "re-skinned" look.

no clear coat. the wenol contains some sort of sealant, so the finish should look decent for some time period - Wenol Metal Polishes, Wenol Red

seat stain follow-up - as you know, i had the "belt stain" across the drivers seat back. well i bought a replacement cover from GM, and had it installed. it looked like crap compared to the original. the original was a snug fit whereas the replacement was a loose and sloppy fit. the shop that...

have the same problem on my modified red z06 seats. the drivers side has a, almost dirty looking, stain(???) just about where my belt hits the seat. i've tried several cleaners, but nothing would touch it. upon close inspection, i determined that it wasn't dirt or a stain from my belt, but the...
