22r Carb/intake Manifold Upgrade And Emmissions Removal
Hello my name is Joseph. I have a 1984 4x4 pickup and I have already began to remove all rubber lines to include the carb. My goal is to get ride of all the junk emmissions lines and have something simple. I am going to buy a 32/36 webber with a aftermarket intake from summit racing part#6248-c single plane. I was told that LCE makes block off plates for the stock manifold, but if I get this intake do I still need this blockoff kit or not. Does anybody have any pics or better sugestions on what Im trying to accomplish.

I think you're making more work for yourself honestly. what your trying to do is exactly how my brothers 85 is. Previous owner had done that to the motor.
You will gain no performance by doing this. I hate his weber, and we're actually looking to put a stock carb back on it.
Sure it's simple, the only vacum lines coming off it go to the vac advance on the distrubutor but the webers themselves suck.
My truck, an 87 and the last 22r they put a carb on runs awesome and I've even decided to let my EFI conversion collect dust because I have no more complaints about the carb. Only thing I've done is eliminate the EGR on my motor because I got tired of fighting an exhaust leak on the EGR exhaust manifold.

correct me if I am wrong, but i am pretty sure that emmissions isn't required on a 25 year old car/truck, which it will be next year.
I too would like to see how to do this, as I am trying to clean up the engine bay, I dont really care if it doesn't "enhance" performance, I am just trying to clean up the mess of vacuum lines running all over the place on the passenger side.

I'm talking about Federal law and it doesn't care about how old or not a vehicle is.

Just FYI as well, you don't need to change intake manifolds to put a weber carb on. As for blockoff plates, if your brain is much more than jello they're not that hard to make, unless you want to shell out the cash for LCE ones for the bling factor.
