Are you subject to emission controls testing or visual inspection?

For starters, there's a big one to the power brake booster. If you have automatic transmission, that'll get a small one. There'll be another small one that goes inside the cab for the heater/AC controls. If you have cruise control, one may go there.

Looks like you don't have an EGR plate, so we won't mention that one

You'll have a ported vacuum from high on the carb to the distributor.

Depending on what's left, you may have lines to the door on the air cleaner, to a vacuum can or two, likely two off the thermostat housing and maybe some others.

1978 Ford f100

I installed a 460 engine along with a c6 transmission. Emission inspection is not required.

I put mine back together yesterday. 460 C6.


All it needs is:
the big line to the power brake booster
a smaller line to the transmission shift modulator
a ported vacuum to the distributor (from the carb)
