1980 stangs with headers

[Anonymous]

hey guys quick question ... on the header there is a bar with 4 tubes to the header, this leads to some hoses and back to the header ... i know this is emtions crap .. so if i get a header and the emtions crap goes bye bye .. will it pas emtions? and will it run right with all that crap gone ... the thing is that the pipe on my stoc header (well the tubes) have rusted out so i have a masave exhaust leak and i have to drive with the windows down because its geting in the car ... so till i get a single out header im going to pull all that crap out (or cap it all off) and get bolts to plug where the tubes went into the header .... what do you think? ... i already looked at the vacume hoses and stuff that went to the old air cleaner (when i replased it i caped off the hoses) and all the emitions crap was tied inot that so im thinking i dont need it

I may be wrong but all you need to pas is the egr valve a well tuned carb smog pump and catlack converter .

8) I would think so my 80 Inline six didnt have any tubes liken that. Mine just had a EGR valve and a light off converter then a regular comverter.

Easy way if your worried about emissions is keep the big converter and keep the airpump and remove the airpump check valve. That way the airpump just pumps air into the exhaust at all speedds. My dad did that on his 460 Linclon and passed no problem. You may need to plumb a metal line to the header to pump the air in.

If your Stang is like mine you will be suprised at how much the nose will lift once you get all the crap off the front of the motor. I have the motor stripped down to short block in preperation of pulling it and I now have probably 7" between tire and fender. Course some of that weight will have to go back on.
