OBD?

My car doesnt have an OBD after a engine swap and transmission, is there any benefit of fumbling around and trying to get one reinstalled on a broke college students funds? First large project, and went through the car today and found that they have taken the obd out. Thanks

With a carb, vacuum advance distributor, and old school transmission, etc. you don't need the electronic stuff, be near impossible to put back on anyway. You still have the 4;11 gear? That sounds major FAST with an automatic trans.

Yeah shes extremely fast. Can be scary at times. Alright, I just didnt know if it was essential or not after the engine swap.
