What could this random tube attached to the exhaust be?
Does exhaust actually come out of that pipe? The heat rise isn’t actually connected to the exhaust but sits up against it so hot air rises.- 77Matt

Qjet to Edelbrock 1400 vacuum line puzzle- I need help
Quick update - Passed CA SMOG by capping the 'EGR' port on the EB 1400 and teeing manifold vacuum from the brake booster to feed the ported vacuum switch (labeled spark control valve in the diagram i posted earlier). She's on the road again and sounds great.- 77Matt

Success! Edelbrock 1400 was the answer. She's CA SMOG legal!- 77Matt

Passing CA Smog help - High HCs
Just a quick update- I talked to the ‘specialist’ and gave him the rundown. The short answer was get a different smog guy. He said cap the ‘egr’ port because it isn’t required. I need manifold vacuum for the ported vacuum switch so my plan is to tee off from the brake booster. So short answer is...- 77Matt

On the contrary I am taking all the advice I can get. But as I work and have children, I cannot respond as quickly as some would like. I also have limited experience with some of the things asking. I can tell you yes it is running rich, just dumping fuel even after adjusting the float. Timing...- 77Matt

It ran fine on the EB so I don’t think it’s spark or fuel. Timing was offset to the max allowable by ca. There is a ton of exhaust so I thought it was running super rich and couldn’t dial it back. I figured the hinge pin was stuck and not dropping in. When I opened it up it was th opposite, the...- 77Matt

No, it runs like crap. I tried adjusting and had some other shade tree mechs look at it. The EB was way better but CA says nope. This one is beyond my capabilities and I am planning on taking it to a QJ specialist. I might just let CA win this one, sell it and buy an exempt truck- 77Matt

That looks like 1406 not 1400…on the 1400, that manifold port on the bottom right says egr.- 77Matt

Also has to do with longevity of the part. Could work great for 2 weeks and then start spewing NOx. Without a proven track record, CA says no go. I agree in theory there should be no such thing as a visual inspection but they are covering their intentions there while also making it difficult in...- 77Matt

I asked the smog guy if I could add a cat and he couldn’t give me an answer one way or the other because he’d have to look it up. I am going to throw the carb on and get it dialed in and hopefully have a winner there.- 77Matt

I was as confused as you. Because the text in the CARB doc states that the manifold port has “egr functionality”, the carburetor needs an egr system for proper functioning. Since the stock truck does not have an egr system, I cannot add one. So basically wrong carb.- 77Matt
