What's the stock air pump spec?

anyone know what the spec on the stock air pump? I found an air pump can pump 15 CFM(300psi). Think it will help pass emission.

According to the factory manual:
Air Pump
Capacity cm3/ rev 375
Output L/min MT 140-200 AT 160-200

There you go
Now all you have to do is convert

You will sure need an air pump to pass emissions, also the right catalitic converter. Fresh tune-up, good gas also i heard that the hotter the engine is, the better it fully burns the fuel. Also the auto parts sells and gas additive that it supposed to lower emissions.
Just glad to help....

in case you don't know, people with mod cars can pass emission too. Just need some inventive idea This is what driving a sport car about.

You do drive a RX-7, don't you?

Yeah I know that bug too. I had an street ported `79 with a holley 650 then the feds desided to pass emission laws in FL. For Gods sake we have coast on either side of our state. It really suck to modify that 12A to comply with the new laws.
THEN I had a 87 n/a that just wasnt fast enough, so out with the cats, hello headers. this time i figured I build the exhaust system to bolt on and off just for that single day a year torun the car to the sniffers and boala the car still fail. Sold the Fc and got an Fd. I think twice before modifing it. But in your case its all worth it when C5 never sees your front bumper.
I wish i could help more.
P.S. Fl vehicles no longer have to pass emissions test
