So in a de-smog, how does one use the US smog built carb? wouldnt it be best to use a Non US stock carb without all the vacuum horse s***?

16 mpg! Dang! My cruiser has only gotten that once. And we were windows down with heat blasting and traveling maybe 55 miles an hour. It had a bad overheating problem in the past. It's all good now though.
I can't wait to tear into mine and get my headers on. I don't have time with school because I need my car. I don't think I could go without it.
Not to tell you not to do the headers, but I was talking with Kurt over at SOR and he said that if you do them you will be fighting an intake leak FOREVER. They sell headers and there main mechanic says not to do it... I didn't do it on mine because I am sick of taking off the intake manifold.
Just my .02
Yeah, I've been trying to find a muffler shop to do this for me, and it hasn't been working out, maybe I'll just buy a length of exhaust pipe, and cut and attach the flanges myself.....?
I did mine ye ol' redneck way. I pulled the cat out and used a big prybar to break-up the catalyst until it is just a big empty chamber. This is not as efficient as a delete pipe because it allows exaust gasses to expand, but I'm sure it's better than it was b4
can anyone tell me what the two wires coming out of the cat do? I clipped them to no effect.
Kavik,
Would you post some pictures so I can see how it looks?
Also so I can drool over it, and motivate my butt to do it.
I'll try to get some this weekend. You will be amazed how few hoses it take to keep her running.
