New carb on '85 Corolla, pass emissions?
Hey all - I may have posted this a while back, I can't remember, so my
apologies if I have. Car is a 1985 Corolla SR5, 221k miles. Runs well but uses about a quart of oil every 3000 miles. I want to put a Weber carb on it to increase the horsepower, right now it's making 70 hp (flywheel). What i'm worried about is the emission controls - the current carb has lots of vacuum lines running to a variety of sensors and whatever. Weber told me that "these will be plugged off, cleaning up the underhood area". Will this make me fail emissions? Or can I still hook up some of this stuff somehow? Thanks! (The exact carb I want to install is a 32/36 Weber 2-barrel, replacing an Aisin 2-barrel.) |

You should be OK as long as your PCV valve and EGR system along with your gas vapor recovery cannister are still in the circuit. None of that has anything to do with a carburetor. Lg |

None of > that has anything to do with a carburetor. There may be quite a few systems (air injection, EGR, etc.) that depend on these vacuum lines being connected. On the other hand, what are the regulations in your area? Out where I live, anything over 25 years old is exempt from emissions tests. -- Paul Hovnanian ------------------------------------------------------------------ "There's something vewy scwewy going on awound here." -- Elmer Fudd |

I'm not sure of the regulations but I don't think they check under the hood, they just do the tailpipe test. |
