Hi All, need some help.
Backround: I pulled the 305 from my 1984 T/A and replaced it with a 355 some years back to race and ever since the dyno emissions I never really kept it on the road (did not think it would pass). Now that the kids are getting older I would like to get it back on the road legally and set up the 355 I have to pass inspection (dyno test for me). The engine is solid with the following parts and I would like to keep it in place:
> - 9.5:1 TRW forged pistons
> - 4 bolt splayed mains
> - 66cc 305 ported heads
> - Edelbrock egr manifold # 3701
> - Edelbrock performer cam # 3702
> - Edlebrock tubular exhaust system with cat back 3" flowmaster system
** I would like to change this over to the Hooker setup.
> - EGR valve is present and functioning with the edelbrock carb.
> - MSD ignition box 6A, with GM HEI vacuum advance distributor
** I need to replace the cat.
Questions:
1. Can anyone post the current emission standards/results for a 1984 305 (or something similar)? Don't know what they are for my car, need to baseline.
2. Do you think this setup will pass (I will have to get a new two way cat since not running AIR), or should I convert it over to electronic full injection w/provision for EGR and emissions?
Thanks
Paul
