Well folks,

 

I'm biting the bullet and buying a CCR EA-81 for my '83 DL wagon.

 

I need to tell them if I have ASV plates or not. Anyone know how to locate them? Pics?

 

Thanks,

Look under the engine at the exhaust - the ASV are large (3/4" or so) steel tubes that run from directly above the y-pipe flange, to an ASV valve on top of the engine. You probably have a functional ASV on the drivers side, and a blank spacer plate on the drivers side. That's the usual setup for a CA emmissions EA81. But look to make sure. You will see the plate - it's about 1" thick, and it's sandwitched between the head, and the y-pipe flange.

 

Being you are in CA, you need to give CCR as much info as possible to insure you will have everything you need to pass.

I just went through that with my latest CCR motor. I had the single passenger side plate. They shipped me one but there wasn't enough material left in the block to mount it. I'm glad we don't have "smog nazi's" I just had a custom exhaust made with EA82 pipes. Later, Tim
