For giggles, I thought I'd try to get this car through smog so I can scatter women, children, and slow-moving soy boys who might make the dubious decision to use an intersection crosswalk as I am approaching it. Vroom vroom.
Engine is a CJ with 238/248 HFT, E427 intake, and 6375's hanging underneath. Present carb is 830 annular with 4-corner idle. Will temporarily switching to a 600 help at all? If so, tips for setup? Also, what about timing? More, or less, initial? Limp it in on 87 octane, or run usual 91? How about that stuff in a can that is "guaranteed" to clean up exhaust gases? Does it work? Any other ideas?

So, are the simulated "vroom vroom" noises supposed to fire our imaginations? I can't get no satisfaction without a video. ;D

OH, here it is.

As a pure research mission, I once tried the 4300 off my 70 Mach1's 351C-4V on the 427 that was in my offroad 77 F250 Highboy, flattops, CJ heads, Street Dominator, 291/541 cam, and it would pass a sniffer test at stock specs for the truck's 351M. On the stock Mustang 351C-4V, it was way under specs, very clean

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Gives a little jolt to the imagination, huh, Dan? Or do you want the FElony written version?

Cool. I was thinking to put a real low power valve in the 600 so the secondaries never open. But, not sure that they would anyway, considering the relatively slow acceleration to whatever speed it is they go on the rollers. I can't recall if they check idle emissions. Been so long since I've smogged a carb.

Oh, I really think the FElony written version is a must see!

I hammered out a rough draft last night. It wound up way too graphic for this forum, I think. Years ago I put something not quite as bad into the other FE forum, and the reaction was crickets. Not exactly worth the effort. I mean, we don't want the owner here to wind up sitting in his chicken coop's safe space, rocking back and forth repeating my name whilst shoveling hot dogs and Haagen-Dazs down his throat, do we? Uh, do we? Hmm. Uh, no no no of course not what was I thinking. Bad FElony. Bad bad FElony.

Much like the YT commenters, I gotta have one. Y'know, the Sheriff's substation is in a strip mall not far from here, a few doors down from my usual watering hole. The visual of sitting at an outside table getting shitfaced (not much different from my regular face) and letting that sound bit rip via remote control during shift change at the station is too much to resist. I have till April 1st to science it out.

What you need is a diesel daily driver. Great against both mosquitoes and protesters ;D

I'd rather dance on the front line in a Ziegfeld Follies resurrection than be caught dead or alive in a diesel.

Just needs to be the right diesel. One that smokes like a proper 1970's diesel.....

They gave up on smog checks here in Michigan, but back when we had to do it, I knew an accommodating test station operator that'd simply input my car information while running some other car twice. I may have had the cleanest 427 in the county---at least on paper.

When we used to do in in Massachusetts it was an idle test only, timing retarded (stock specs usually did it), engine good and hot, carb adjusted correctly. Timing was the biggest component for a good running engine

I did that in California when I lived there, as tests were performed by licensed auto repair shops. My neighbor had one, and I used to run my '86 3.8 EFI Cougar through for 8 cars I actually had running and registered (amazing, huh). He did this for a lot of people. He was about to get busted for the third time, which would have meant a mandatory stay in the pokey, so he sold the biz to his manager and bailed to an acre lot in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, he had bought a couple years before. Always one step ahead, he was.
Here in AZ all the testing is done by the state. No cheating.

when Ohio had E-Test on the trouble makers we would run gas tank down to 1/4 tank and add two bottle of rubbing alcohol from the local grocery store and then drive straight to E-Test station and pass

I know they can flunk you on equipment, too. PCV I can cover. Smog pump may or may not be a factor. They do check gas caps. I'd like to see them open the gas door and find no cap or hose. Better yet, I need to video the tester climbing over the roll bar and staring at the Winters shifter. The whole damn failure might be worth the fee just to get it recorded.

Cool. That's probably what's in that bottle I referred to earlier. Just more expensive.

I had to go through smog tests here with a bottle of methyl hydrate added to the gas. Retarding timing won't always he;f. T used a Holley off an 84 Mustang GT, those have annual primaries and make a clean idle and much better gas mileage than the normal 600.
But bribery works too.

I think I have one of those carbs, off my old '83 460 F250. Forgot all about it. Thanks!

What????? LOL!!
Luckily the neighbors were still in Florida for the winter when I fired it off for the first time. I walked around the corner and the smoke was just hanging in their backyard. Ooops. It does fill the garage when I need to get it out, as I have to build air before I can release the brakes. The fun of owning 1960's technology.
