kristopherdb Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I have an 85 300 L6, I am not a motor-head or mechanic but I have this beast to learn on. There are two belts missing and I need to pass emissions. 1 belt goes from the air pump (Thermactor Pump??) to the alternator and another from the A/C to the water pump and crank. I cannot find the belt numbers or what to get for the life of me. Also when hooking these back up after 20 years should I do anything first, such as oil the condenser?

Gary Lewis Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Kristopher - Welcome to the Bullnose Forum. Frequently I have the documentation needed somewhere in the rest of the website. And when I don't I usually put it on a page quickly. But, in this case I don't have it on the site nor have the time to do it completely at the moment so will post it here to get you some info, and then put up a page later. Here's what Ford's master parts catalog shows for a 1985 w/a 300 six. Pick out your belt and you should be able to find it by Googling the number like JB-430-LB. But, you can usually find the info by going to the website of one of the parts houses, like O'Reilly's, and entering your truck's info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimsRebel Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I will start with the air pump. I think the pump is seized up and will not turn, at least that is what happened to me when I removed the air pump belt for a long period of time. I was able to take it apart and get it to free up and turn by hand again. The air pump was rusted bad inside.

Gary Lewis Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 No problem. And, just 'cause you asked and I didn't have it, there's a web page out there for Drive Belts. (You can also get to it by hovering over Engines to the left and clicking on Drive Belts. That's the beauty of a forum integrated with a website for documentation. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
