here is the deal the emissions ppl wont pass me emissions cuz my line from the canister to the carb vent its disconnected now 1406s don't have this port so my question is is there any way or place to tap the carb and install a port to hook up this hose to or am i gonna have to spend my cash n buy a new 1400 tha comes already with this port? any help greatly appreciated

 

You'd probably need a 1400 to pass a visual inspection, but I'm surprised they're not demanding an OE carb.

 

well they sent me for referee which basically means a state inspector makes the final decision it turned out worst he wants everything on the car the air system, air pump, all hoses routed as they are supposed to b, egr valve ( i dont have 1 ) i have headers too so hes like ur gonna have to remove those for the air system i was like F U dude

 

Doesn't help you now with the new requirements, but just connecting a vacuum line to the canister would have worked - The 1406 has 2 small vacuum ports on the front, most use pass side one for vacuum advance distributor can, and other side isn't used usually - could have rigged a line from that to the canister.

In the 1970's, the canisters just got fumes sucked out constantly by a vacuum line on the carb. In our cars, there is a solenoid-like setup that is controlled by the ECM that opens/closes the vacuum line on the canister.

Sorry to hear of the problems. Someday here in NC they'll probably kill my inspection as well, but for now I get away with it. You can blame anyone that's not a car enthusiast - emissions would have never been required if people had stayed diligent with tuning and getting their cars tuned, as a properly tuned non-emissions car has no more emissions output than any emissions-equipped car. Think about it - we tune for performance, which means burning all the fuel we have while adding all the air we can (since a motor is an air pump). Running rich hurts performance as does running lean.

But it became a huge political issue (like everything does) proposed by a bunch of soccer moms (which don't have time to learn but have time to whine). I'm sure burning oil isn't very good for the environment, but we can burn all the oil we like in our cars which doesn't make sense. OK - I'm done ranting.

 

Sell the car for $1 to a friend, cousin, sister, etc. in a different county/state that doesn't have emissions, then register it in their name and get new tags. There's always a way around the system. Even though I'm not required to pass emissions, I always go to a non-emissions county in NC to get mine inspected - they never even look at anything except lights, horn, tread, wipers.

 

His problem isn't the purge (which goes into the PCV system), it's the bowl vent.

 

Apeiron its right and to camaronewbie true i can alwas do that n i dont need to sell it all i have to do its change my address to emissions free territory which its like hr n a half from here what really bothers me its that im trying to do it the legal way and they wount work with me my car its passing emissions as it is y do i have to get all that **** back installed the limit HC its 2.40 my cars its 1.42, the CO limit is 20.00 my cars its 7.44, the NOX limit its 3.5 my cars its 3.42 this one its really close but i think its cuz i have no EGR but regardless it still pases so why do i need all that other $!th installed

 

The vapor recovery system controls emissions that aren't measured by the sniffer, but are significant sources of hydrocarbon emissions.

 

i guess lol

 

So they say. If it was such a concern to the environment, wouldn't there be vapor recovery at the refineries, tank farms, and on the delivery truck valves?

It's TAX DOLLARS baby! Everything revolves around the almighty tax revenue!

Hope I don't sound anti-environment here. But in the end, nothing good we do in the US, Canada, Japan, Oz and Europe will ever put a dent in the daily damage caused by Mexico, China, Soviet, and remaining 3rd world non-standardized pollution-rich countries.

 

You think there isn't?

 

Well glad to announce that I passed I just fake hooked up the canister to my carb and they didn't even bother to check they just passed me it was the same station too
