removing emissions stuff

Featured Replies

My 86 l series sube has been giving me no end of grief and I'm thinking of swapping the carb to a weber. What do you guys do with emissions vacuum hoses and crankcase breathers?

 

Specific details would be great as there are lots there.:)

 

For those interested I have:

cleaned and replaced pcv valve

run can of upper cylinder cleaner through vacuum lines

replaced plugs and leads, rotor cap and button

tensioned timing belts (from htkysa)

rebuilt carb

 

and I still have pinging under load in summer:confused:

Where is your timing set? Whose gas are you using.

Have you cleaned the EGR system and verified that it's working properly?

My timing was pinging at 8 so I backed it off a bit and that fixed it for a while, then after 2000k trip on way home it pinged no matter what and really bad.

 

I don't have an egr valve as its an aussie soob

 

 

 

Yesterday I found the left side timing belt had about an inch of slack so I took that out as well. With that and the seafoam its run the best it ever has but i'm still thinking weber as the jetting has always seemed too lean for this weather.

 

Can anyone tell me how they de emissioned it?
