I need some help in finding a replacement air pump check valve. Mine is rusted and leaking exhaust. It's on my 1976 Bronco Ranger and I am trying to keep original parts in tact.

I couldn't find NOS Ford for that one. I went with Niehoff FE497A Smog Air Pump Check Valve. Same thing just not FoMoCo

Did you replace the hoses from the smog pump to the diverter to the check valves? They look new. If you did replace them, where did you source them? Mine are a bit tatty.

Thanks!

They are actually the original hoses. I took them off and cleaned them with a cleaner from chemical guys called invisible super cleaner and a nylon brush. Then I used an engine dressing on them called barebones undercarriage dressing from chemical guys as well.

You can now see the original ford part numbers
