and where do PHR and Car craft have their shops at? California I'm not sure about Hot Rod since i haven't read that in 3 years...
All of the above. You never see any smog stuff in all those "street legal" cars. I guess the feds aren't all too worried about our smoggy cars. Too busy chasin' out those messicans (typed tongue in cheek, by the way ).
Well I'm de-smogging a 77 model motor that is in my 70 model car. Will that keep me safe from men in black suits knocking on my door? (Sorry...there was really no reason to put that smiley there....I just thought it looked funny)
Something I never could understand...If a car (with a carburetor) got 20 miles per gallon with emission devises attached and polluted x amount of emission per mile...and the same car would get 25 MPG without the emission devises and polluted the same x amount per gallon. But if you look at the x amount per mile the post-emission look better on paper than the numbers per tank of gas on a pre-mission car. You could end up burning more gas to go the same distant of miles on a post-emission car...does this extra gallon of gas you just burned pollute? Wouldn’t more mpg be less pollution?...If a train left Chicago traveling.....
Which way? If it is traveling AGAINST the spin of the Earth, it would consume a bit more gas than if it was traveling WITH the spin. Just sayin' Sorry, we drive 30-40 year old cars. If you are worried about emissions, buy a 2010 honda. Or better yet, a Prius. I hear you cannot stop them even if you try.
What do you mean 20 mpg? You forgot what a Fairmont got! lmao We always get a good laugh off of that one at the dealership. I don't think one Dodge product we sell now gets over 30 mpg. Aries 41 mpg...yeah right!
Well at least on Project Laguna PHR put a Catalytic converter on it(since they require emissions testing on 76 models) I never finished reading up on that build. Does anyone know if they ever added the egr plate or an air pump? or if they ever got it smog tested?
All cars in California have to be tested for emissions when they are sold. If the do not meet standards they cannot be licensed in California. When licensing an out-of state car in California it has to meet their emission standards.
thats not true. 75 and older are exempt from testing. they are still required to have all the emissions equipment that came from the factory or are approved replacement parts but are not required to be tested bianually or on tranfer of title. they can be sent to a california air resourses board referee if the law enforcement deems them modifyed.
I was going to make an EGR block off but I don't have any scrap at the moment. So considering the price of a piece of metal at Lowes plus a new gasket....I just ordered this. There are 2 basic sizes of EGR valves and most 5.0s are the same as my 250...3 1/4" bolt to bolt measured from the centers. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250580163124&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT
There is a less expensive way to block the EGR and it is invisible. Remove the carb and adapter (spacer) plate. drill and tap the hole in the manifold that feeds the EGR and plug it with a flush-fitting pipe plug. When you remove or block the EGR you will have to richen the mixture with jets that are 1 - 2 sizes larger - it compensates for the lean mixture that results from the loss of the exhaust fumes in the combustion chamber.
Boy, i sure do love ky laws, just have them check the odometer and fire up the car "oh yeh, it passes."
I don't think that applies to my 6 cylinder. My EGR feeds off of the carb spacer. Here is what my block off looks like.
