I don't have to run emissions on this motor so I want to remove ALL the emission garbage. It has about 9 miles of vacuum tubing going to about 20 different electric emission hook ups along w/a Electric Q-jet & a none vacuum advance dist.

Other then removing all the vacuum garbage along with swapping out the carb(to non-electric) & dist(to vacuum HEI) is there anything special I should do like re-gap the plugs &/or change the timing???

TIA.....joe

I would check the pre-81 specs on the olds V8 since you more or less converted it to that better era..

thats how i would do it to .just go back to a pre smog specs

you will need an early distributor the 88 spark advance is controlled buy the computer ...ted

You will need to block off the ports on the heads above the manifolds,
Use a early model distributor, and use a regular carb Ive done this conversion and updated mine with an eldelbrock rpm intake and eledbrock carb 600 ran headers and blocked off heads like i mentioned.
But you are right theres miles of polution lines under those hoods
