Hi everyone,i am new to the forum,i have a 75 ta with stock intake.
It was my fathers car and it has been in storage since 82,i am currently
trying to recomission the car.
I would like to de-smog the car and fit an edelbrock intake,does any one
know if i can do this but retain my original rochester carb?
many thanks Rich.

My 78 is de-smogged, it runs awesome, the performer is the one i used,it doesn't use the egr, I ground off the name and painted it. The choke tube had to be cut off, and the linkage had to be played with a little. and yes the q-jet works, my orig is on there, w/ no shaker issues. The exhaust manifold on the 78 400 are lame, I used the HO type, wich gets rid of the efe valve too.

Thank you very much,really appreciate your help.

I left the char. canister hooked up thats it. get your dist re-curved, and a perf kit in the carb, I got one from NUNZI in brooklin NY. He has everything, and has been doing Pontiacs for a long time. I might add the 1:65 rocker kit if it works with all the stock pcs.

Only thing I would suggest is to check with your local DMV/BMV to make sure you are emissions exempt before you remove any smog equipment. Better safe than sorry.
One thing I like about NY is that the 2nd gens are emissions exempt so no cats, no smog, no sniff test, not even a visual inspect on the exhaust.

Yes, thats a good Idea, the air in Michigan is so fresh, we don't need it either!

i'm in england so we don't have to worry to much about emissions(just the price of fuel!!!!) :)

What is the price in england for a liter of petro now? You guys always have had it bad with gas prices.

Tell me about it,at the moment i think it would be just under 11 dollars a gallon! :'(
