Picked up a 76 out of texas that had been converted to single carb that just doesn't run very well. I decided to convert back to original FI, essentially everything is gone and I am working on understanding the system. I guess my first question is where does the fuel pump draw power from? there is a single black wire underneath the fuel tank that has no power to it but all the relays have been removed and Im waiting on those from pelican

@Ron914
here is what CARB would have on file for the 76. its all the bits they are looking for listed with part numbers. can't see that part number of the item mr. b has posted. but i am sure it will be there somewhere somehow. mr. b would know. they are noting some items enrichment sensor and pressure sensor. whether these are the same thing not sure. not really up on the old D jet or the complications of CARB emissions. i do know that all the components are shared from 75 to 76 and do not change. ie a 75 calif = a 76 calif. and a 75 49 states = a 76 49 s. but the big thing is that a 75 calif and 75 49 states are different beasts. |

Thank you bothT for your advice ,this was not the news I was hoping to hear . I somehow assumed since this was a 49 state car that has been continuously registered and smogged for 34 years in California that as long as I had all the original equipment installed and working it would pass a smog check as it has since 1985 . I have spent more than I thought on this car than I thought to get back on the road and I'm starting to think I should just try to sale in another state and look for another one .I am going to just take it in to a star station and see what happens and if its possible to get a wavier as a 49 state car . I wish I could ask the previous owner how he was getting it to pass a smog check for 34 years but that is not possible . |
