Dropzone- pretty much but ill just wait to make one whenever I get a header or re swap it.

Jonny-only if I had the paperwork, dmv said all they had was the fail. But, it was smogged in isabella... might pass down here?

seanmearse

Well, researched a little more and came across this search. What do you guys make of it?

That it can pass at 3:25 pm, but not around 4:20 or 1:45. Your pickup is a pothead!

seanmearse

your retarded, lol.

JonnyBoy

Ok, I'll stop being such a jerk. Is there such a thing as a smog pretest? I think we need to know it's status as to why it failed before we just start swapping parts that aren't necessary.

seanmearse

At the same time, every vehicle I have put a new cat on has passed every time. And yeah, we have a pretest. Its like 40 bucks.

JonnyBoy

Haha, remember how heavy that cat was I took off the '83? A new one would probably help plenty

seanmearse

True. The one on it has been replaced, but, it matches the eaxhaust system color, it might have been changed in 2000ish

JonnyBoy

Well if it was changed then, it didn't help then, how would it help now?

seanmearse

It could have been replaced pre 98, no one knows, besides, a new cat will always lower emisions.

seanmearse

Alright, cat took care of hc, co is still high. Max allowable 1.70%, trucks at 5.60%, timing was at 9*, advance off, put it to 0* advance off. Going to try to smog now. Hope it passes.

seanmearse

Well, timing change brought co down to 4.17%. Still rich though. Ordered a carb kit today, going to rebuild tomorrow. Also, no one lists a factory style mechanical pump for this localy, only electric. It has an electric on there now with a regulator, wierd regulator though, german writing, adjusts like a steering box, jam nut with a slotted center. Eh. Hopefully rebuild brings it back down to what it should be.

seanmearse

Heres a thought. As I layed in bed last night, I was thinking about the L diesel. I know its underpowered, a turbo will fix that. But, if I swap the engine, I will have smog exempt status. Only issue, I cant find a used one with harness. If anyone knows of a website that I could track one down on, that would be awesone. I think it would be fun and interesting to build one with some oomph.

seanmearse

Update. Carb rebuilt, runs a lot better, exhaust is still heavy bodied, but doesn't stink like before, its a little more responsive. Tomorrow will be echaust leak and maybe a second round of seafoam.

seanmearse

Well, im done. Now that co is down, hc climbed back up. Needs a complete rebuild. Meh. Dont have the time to do this with alaska det coming up and moving soon.
