If I wanted to do away with all the emissions on my truck 4wd manual pick up. What all would I have to plug etc to keep it running good? I am not going to be tested it is going to be a dirt track race pick up we do that here locally.

Do not I just need to have the vacuum line from the distributor and the line from the brake booster tapped into the intake manifold? Is there more to it than that? There are quite a few vacuum lines on this rig I do not know what to cap off or delete.

I am sorry. Disabling emissions is a federal violation. We cannot support or give advice on how to disable all the systems.

You can delete and cap off vacuum ones as needed expect to the booster and distributor. Can you please send us pictures of the truck and what you are removing?

The fuel tank will need the charcoal canister and the evap system should stay, The air injection can go you will need to cap of the exhaust manifolds.

Hello, I have looked every where for a clear diagram of where the emission lines go on my truck. All the ones I have found are newer and different I need to know exactly where the brake booster hose goes to the hose on the distributor hoses on the carburetor and all the rest of the emission lines. Please help.

I just checked and responded to a post with the same user and question. I believe you got it now on the other post. If I am wrong, let me know.

Take care,

Ken did you get the pictures I sent? This truck is going for off road use only on our dirt track. I am trying to delete all the emission hoses which there are a lot. Did you get the pictures I sent yesterday? any way I was wanting to cap off all six tubes coming from the exhaust manifolds, the air pump the valves it feeds the TV valve, the purge and charcoal tanks. The only thing I was going to leave hooked up was the fuel inlet. The vacuum advance and the brake power booster to the carburetor. Will this work?
