Desmog or not

[Mud dawg]

Hello: I know this has been batted around many times but I am wondering if I should try to desmog my 60. If so, how do I know what to remove? Would it benefit me at all? If not, I need help finding a clean vacuum tubing diagram to show me where missing tubing goes that was removed by others. Thanks, Ed

This has been, er, "batted around many times". There are pluses and minuses; recommend that you read some of the existing threads. It benefited me, but YMMV.

You need a copy of the "2F Engine Emission Control Repair Manual", which can be downloaded for free right here on Mud. If you can't find it on a search, then PM me with your email address and I will email you a PDF copy.

Thanks for the reply. I am probably going to leave the emission system as design, I just need some help trying to make sure I am getting everything into the correct place. Mechanics around here do not want to touch it. I sent you a pm. Thanks, ed

I would say yes, if it isn't a requirement where you live.

I like the cleaner engine compartment, I like the 20 mpg on the highway, I like the easy starting and smooth running.

All you need to know is here on 'Mud. My truck was half-arsed desmogged by a PO, I followed the directions and it wasn't hard to sort it correctly.

Hi Ed

I'm down in WBP, When I bought mine it had a poor desmog job done on it. I followed advice on here, put a trollhole carb on it and am very happy so far. If you are going to stay in FL I would desmog it, everything is neat and clean. If you do desmog I would stay away from a weber, I didn't like the one that was on mine at all. Get Jim C to desmog your carb or buy one from trollhole.

If you can de-smog your truck, by all means do it. Follow the threads here and you should be good. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I weren't in Kalifornia.

Engine will run cooler, marginally better gas mileage, far fewer things to go wrong or diagnose if engine runs poorly...
