86 k20

Alright so I got 2 questions for everybody here. I have a 86 small block and it has a lot of emissions can I just a remove all this stuff? Also what's the best way to make the engine bay look nice?

Re: 86 k20

Hi, each state's emission control laws may be different, I am in California and here anything newer than 75 you can't mess with and pass SMOG. So check what your regulations are then have at it; EGR delete, Air Pump delete, Air tubes delete, etc.

I use Mineral Spirits to clean, get the odorless kind at Home Depot and that's your best degreaser, cheap too.

I will try using POR15 Engine Enamel, as they started out with their Paint Over Rust product and now seem to be making everything short of toothpaste, LOL Comes in 23 different colors and you can apply it with a brush, less mess, less waste, or get the spray can.

No I don't work for these guys, LOL, but your bed may be a bit rusty so again go with POR15 their Flagship product

Its not as easy as just removing all that stuff if you do go with an older carb and a older Hei distributer. And it is illegal fedrialy to tamper with any emmision controlled device. So i only do it on off road vehichles only!

Re: 86 k20

Does it still run with no problems? Just like a regular 350?
