Builds Rub A Dub Dub, Pablo's Got A New Tub!!! (2 Viewers)

It has been a minute since I posted any updates on my 40, but I have a few things going on...

1. Some friends and I have been working on a header for the 2F based on the original Downey design. We have made a few design changes since the v1 prototype, so I was able to put an early prototype on my 40!
2. The header requires removing the EGR, so I wanted to study up on that and approach the deletion of this system the right way. There is a lot of knowledge out there, so I tried to pull everything together - including scans from my Emissions Manual into one thread on emissions and proper desmog for a US fed Spec '78 40.
3. I finally went to the parts store to score this steering stabilizer - it should be in by 1 PM!

Do you ever put things off, fearing how long or involved something might take and then once you dig in it is not that bad? I finally did my de-smog yesterday and after making the thread linked above, it went very smoothly!

I started with this:

It was this line being disconnected, and the fact that the shop I used for the header install not putting the ABV and air injection hoses back on that made me start This Thread.

Back in the day we had to relocate the ABV for the addition of the PS pump, but all is well:

Now I have the TP, Advance/Spark Control, Evap and AI systems all hooked up properly.
I am still using the ported vacuum at the carb for TP and Advance, and now also Evap.
The 1-way valve for TP was in backwards! I wonder how long it has been like that?

Retard port is capped off:

I am no longer using the Blue VSV:

No more connections at the VSV:

I grabbed a pic of the steering stabilizer.
I want to go back and remove the spacer from the end at the crossmember, that will make things lie a little straighter:

Wow, so you got this when you were 10?

We are getting old....

He was 10 in some base, yeah.
