68 AIR Pump

[Mark F.]

I'm traveling and will be going to a swap meet and don't have my judging guide with me. Would someone be so kind and tell me what part number I need for a smog pump for a 1968 big block that was built August 6, 1968. Also, what date code would I look for? Is it julian dating, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mark

Re: 68 AIR Pump

this is a direct copy from an email I received yesterday from Bill Hodel: "You can find the date and broadcast code of the pump stamped into the aluminum housing of the pump. It can stamped into a machined area, or to the rear of the machined area. Most of the time on 68 pumps with the pressure relief valve, it is to the rear of the machined area. Pump should have 7801149 back plate and the pressure relief valve"

Attached pictures from Bill as well. Seems to be julien dated.







Again: credits to Bill Hodel!!!!

Re: 68 AIR Pump

Thank you and also to Bill. Sure looks pretty. I'll probably give Bill a call but thought I'd look at the swap meet, one never knows what you may find.
