I'm planning on adding a charcoal canister to my 70 dart that came without one. I hate the smell of gas fumes in the morning......it doesn't smell like victory.

Has anyone on here removed the emissions from their SL 6? Where I'm located i don't need it and I would prefer to get rid of it to clean up the engine bay. I did read that I might have to change the Jets. Wanted to get a fir answer on that and a size. I have a Holley 1945 on mine in a 1980 Dodge D150. |

Exactly what are you wanting to get rid of? You will want to keep: a functioning pcv fuel vapor canister egr, helps economy Certainly if your truck has a lean burn Swap that for a HEI ignition and the air pump, if equipped, can go as most likely the exhaust port inlets are plugged with carbon. For tuning, I would leave the carb jets alone, for now, With a vacuum gauge, adjust the idle mixture screws for max vacuum at idle speed. |

I would like to delete the EGR with the amplifier and the canisters but keep the PCV. Not to concerned about the economy. Looking to just get rid of all the hoses to clean it up but keep it reliable as a daily driver. I'm in my upper 30's and have never worked on a carb before so I'm a bit dumb to this but i have a strong mechanical background to figure this out. |

Quote: the canisters
the canisters do a good job of collecting gas fumes from the carb,kind of nice if you park in a garage. Dodge vans mounted the canister under the van on the frame rail. I used one of those brackets to relocate the canister on my 83 D150 from the engine compartment to the frame rail under the cab. Good luck with your project, let us know how it goes |

I removed some (most) of the emission items from a 79 Volare I used to own. I removed the EGR valve and epoxied over the intake port under the carb. I used an EGR plate from eBay only because it was extra thick, but you can easily make one. I removed the Vacuum amp, and assorted hoses. I also pulled out the ported vacuum switches from the head and plugged the hole. I removed the canister, but only because I had switched carbs and the 'new' two barrel didn't have the fitting for the vent hose. Honestly, the only thing that made a difference (I could feel) was removing the AIR pump, and that wasn't a whole lot. Removing all the other stuff made it look cleaner, which made me happier. |

I cleaned my entire engine compartment up to my liking when I removed about 14 wires, Lean burn stuff, installed HEI, a new 4 barrel , headers....etc. I did however keep the charcoal canister. It is down out of the way up front and hardly noticeable. Mine is tee'd into the PCV valve and vacuum advance lines. Simple and effective and doesn't hurt a thing.  Rick |

Somewhere on here is my post about removing all that stuff. I took off a mile of wires, hoses and the smog pump when I did mine. The charcoal canister was busted on mine so I removed it and installed a fuel filter in its place; the fumes are not bad if I don't park in the garage, even in the 100+ degree summer. My Holley 1945 was junk any way so I ditched it for a rebuilt 1920. I tossed the Lean Bum distributor and ordered one for a 1973 Plymouth and did the HEI swap a few months later. As for the EGR, I just took it off and flipped it 180 degrees so the solid part covered the hole in the manifold. Ran well as a daily driver on my 76 mile commute 5 days a week. |

Im looking for a 1920 right now. I'm now thinking about keeping the canister but want all the other stuff gone. I like your EGR idea and will do the same till i can make a plate on my mill. Have to get the mill running first. I did some work with the acceleration pump and got the truck to run much better. the guy before me used it as a wood hauler and im finding all kinds of neat stuff. thanks for your input everyone. |
