Smog Pump Delete

[KCEE442]

Ha anyone done it before?

I know its straightfoward but on the exhaust manifolds,
Those ports have to be plugged.

Anyone know what size they are so i get can some brass plugs
..or any other suggestions?

I just changed the exhaust manifolds when I took off the air pump....we have enforcement officers up here who can pull you over to check to see under the hood and we are supposed to have all the pollution control components installed so I don't want to leave any obvious clues...

i put plugs in before on my old motor untill i put headers on

how does the engine run with headers and the pump removed?

 

[sleepyss13]

it runs alot smoother and get better take off

Take off, eh? A little Northern humor there.

the pump had nothing to do with the operation of the engine...all the pump did was to take fresh air and inject the fresh air with the exhaust which in theory diluted the exhaust....when you think of it it had nothing to do with cutting down emission, it only mixed the clean air with the exhaust before the exhaust from the tail pipe had time to mix with the clean air...

do you remeber how big the plugs were and where you got them?

If no one here knows what size it is, take the fitting to a hardware store and they should have a gauge to see what size it is.

i dont remember what size they were but it was cheap
