I fixed my pump myself. I really didnt want to wait for my pump to be sent out and remaned then sent back, so I went to the boneyard and grabbed a pump from an early 70's Camaro, which is a Saginaw pump that has a very similar reservoir to the Ford Saginaw pump. The only difference is the return line barb is soldered on in a different spot. I was going to just pull the Ford bolt pattern adapter off my pump and swap pulleys and run it, but then I found out that the Camaro pump has a smaller shaft with a key, so I pulled the pumps apart and swapped vanes, and rotating assembly out of the Camaro pump as well as the end plates. The only thing wrong with my old pump was the front end plate and the rotor was chewed up, so the vanes didnt seal against the plate. The main housing of the pumps have the same casting number, but the Ford pump seemed to have heavier springs, so I used all the Ford stuff. Works like a dream now.
I pulled my air filter off to clean it, and found an awful lot of muddy water droplets in the intake tube. So I got to work on this.
I used a stock intake boot from a 94 2.3 Ranger that used to connect the airbox to the tube, it slips perfectly onto the 95+ airbox adaptes it to 3" pipe as well as elbows it. Then I ran 3"exhuast tubing back to the cowl and used a 45* rubber boot to shoot the pipe up through the fender an along the window. I bought a mandrel bent 3" U and cut out the angles I needed to run along the window and go vertical. I used a precleaner off a John Deere 4400 combine to top it off. The preclreaner fits snug on a 3" OD pipe and only cost me 2 bucks at the tractor JY. I picked up a new clear plastic bowl for 10 bucks since the old one was cracked.
I lost all of my pictures of the snorkel build, but I used an old junk fender for a test fender when I cut the hole, then made a stencil to transfer it to the good fender. I used a some sort of rubber edging that my dad had laying around to seal the hole around the pipe.
Ill snap some pictures of the setup next time I have the fender off.
Pics.
Here is what the boot connecting the airbox to the pipe looks like.
Its off a 93-94 2.3
I bought a mandrel bent 3" "U" and cut and clocked various parts until it looked the way I wanted, then welded it up and ground the welds flush.
The pipe behind the fender has a 30* bend or so to get it up over the wheel arch.
There is 45* boot connecting the mid pipe to the snorkel.
I actually made the exhaust a little more legit with mandrel 3" pipe and a bult a new crossmember to clear it better.
