I'm guessing "Air Pump" - pushes air into the exhaust stream. This helps clean up emissions by itself, and it also increases the efficiency of a catalytic converter.

Yep but only the earlier jeeps with early (72-73) smog equipment had them. anything with a computer did'nt have one

Your 86 won't have a air pump as stated. I like Goodyear or Gates belts when I replace mine.

Thanks fellas.
Im leaning toward the GY or Napa belts. havent hear pros or cons on either so i might have to go with Napa as they have a LLT warranty and only a $5-7 difference between the two.

If you can take your belts with you to the parts store, because over the years pulley sizes have changed. You may not get the right ones on the first try.
