    I am in mesa and i'm interested in your windshield and the euro turn signals. What shape is it in? Any chips or cracks? I can pick up.

    Dealing with numerous electrical issues, ie; dead batteries, burned up alternators, smoking wires to the regulator, and multiple unplugged connectors. One of which looks like this: Anyone know what this went to? It is on drivers side right up nest to firewall.

    So I installed the new alternator and adjusted the timing/dist., and fuel mixture. Changed the oil and spark plugs. Took it to emissions and now failed 9 times the legal limit! An improvement from 12 times the limit! It is misfiring constantly. So I am wondering about vacuum issues. So my next two questions are: 1. What should the vacuum lines from the carb. be hooked to or which should be plugged? I have one line that is connected from one side of the manifold to the other side. Two are plugged and the third goes to the dist. 2. What about the muffler? I had a 94 chevy truck that had never failed emissions and then failed. I found that the internals of the muffler had basically burned up and when I replaced the muffler it passed with flying colors. What should a muffler rplacement cost? I know that it is missing some of the emission items but it has passed the visual test twice so I am just trying to get it to run well enough to pass the tests. Thanks

    Thanks, I'll keep this as a list to work on just after the alternator change.

    Well didnt make it to emissions. I've been having trouble with dying battery and flickering lights and so when I went out start to go to test, it wouldn't start. Then jumped it, and shut off and it wouldn't start again. Looks like maybe a new alternator is in order. Brother bought and installed a used alternator but it looks like its a '76. So much for a quick fix. Looks like I'll be chasing more than just low emissions.

    I did pass the visual test at emissions, but not the actual one. I have a free retake so I will try it after switching out the jets and see what happens tonight. I was hoping for a quick fix (arent we all), but if it doesnt work, then I will be back on the hunt for emission parts and advice. Thanks

    Thanx again, I will track down the EGR valve and because I do have an air pump I guess a diverter valve also. As for modules, I do not see any along the firewall that are connected to the dist. or vacuum lines at all. Looks like I'll be tracking those down as well. If only it was a 75 or newer.

    No way, I just got it! 1. Cause I've always wanted one, ever since my 510 coupe was stolen. 2. My 16 year old thinks its BA and wants to cruise around town. 3. Come on, its Pistachio green!

    Thanx! I have my emission diagram still on the body. But since this has a weber carb what changes? I dont see a "dashpot" on my carb at all. The vacuum advance line coming from the distributor connects directly to my carb. not to the blk. electromagnetic relay as shown. Also I dont see any EGR valve or diverter valve.

    I just bought a 76 auto from my little brother and it is decent shape, but wont pass emissions here in AZ. (12 times the limit!) It has been converted with a weber carb, and I was instructed to re-jet it. I did but while under the hood I got to looking at the emission system and noticed that 2 of the vacuum lines coming from under the carb are plugged (very heavy vacuum pressure), while a third goes to the distributor. It has no vacuum and when removed doesnt effect the idle. There is one vacuum line on the intake manifold that is "jumped" to another fitting in the manifold and when removed motor dies. Also, I just had a new air pump installed to see if that would help but to no avial. Any Help?
