That’d be nice, but I live in Portland, so unfortunately my hands are a bit tied there.

Yeah, they’re insane. I’m not keen on replacing it.

Update on this thread: I apparently am blind as hell, because in the past, under the 60, I could have sworn the cat was factory. Turns out it’s not only not factory, but probably a Cali CARB cat. They also decided to straight weld to the exhaust and cut the flanges (annoying). In any case, I’m...

Yep; got the right replacement, I've not been in that area much yet on my 60, but I think I know what kind of gasket you're talking about from my previous experience on vehicles.

That looks a lot like the one I have. Thanks again for all your advice

As I said before I’ve checked the air injection system not long ago as well as all the fidgety valves of the emissions system (replacing one or two even). But yes I will check again. The air pump worked fine last check. The cat may be original to the vehicle. I am unsure.

Yeah, unfortunately the Oregon report doesn’t have o2 numbers. I can’t fly blind here so I’m def going to pick up the o2 sensor and gauge. Then I’ll start throwing money at parts if I need to. Thanks all for weighing in.

This is awesome; I didn't even know it was an option. thanks for weighing in; any recommendations for a wideband O2 + meter?

Well, it was definitely messed with long before I ever got to it, so unfortunately going back isn't an option, but it does sound like what you're saying is a bit contradictory. On the one hand, the factory tune should be good, but the lean drop method (as described in the factory service manual)...

So, to extrapolate on this: you're saying that if the emissions system is in full working order, I should be able to pass emissions with the normal carb tune?

I take this to mean the air pump and PCV; how can I check this system?

The idle was tuned this high on my first run through; I brought it back down to 690 thinking it might help with the idle check (it looks like my CO emissions did drop pretty substantially, but both HC and CO are still pretty high). this truck, for what it’s worth, did pass emissions 2 years...

Hey team, I’m currently in a sisyphean hell trying to get my 2F to pass emissions in Oregon. Here’s where I’m at: Passing values: HC 220 (ppm hydrocarbons) CO 1 (represents percent of unburned fuel in emissions) EGR disconnected: Idle: HC 239 CO 4.7885 2.5k rpms HC 239 CO 4.4625 EGR...

Hey all, I finally got around to replacing my turn signal/corner light assemblies on my 60. They seem to work, but I noticed that now my turn signals are always on. Everything works: headlights, high beams, corner lights, even the turn signals (they work fine when the headlights are off, and...

Am I missing something? I find those screws to be kind of a pain in the ass to get to. I had to take the intake cap off last time I adjusted those screws.
