Complete Downey air cleaner, Holley 2 bbl with manual choke. Has adapters for stock 2F manifold. Gas pedal modified with a generic accel cable. Was running on my 2F last year. I went back to stock carb for emissions. PM me if interested. Thanks for looking

I’m having trouble passing emissions in Oregon. 10x’s the legal limit for CO at idle. From what I’ve read it seems like I need to replace the smog pump but I have exhaust headers. Is this even possible or do I need to go back to a stock exhaust manifold. 2F, Holly 2 bbl and HEI distributor. I...
