Emissions on my 84

What emissions equipment is required on my 84 ford f150? right now there is a muffler and not much pipe.

Do I need cats, o2 sensors, etc?

Thanks
Andrew

It depends if you need to get checked by a sniffer every year for registration. If not I wouldnt worry about emissions.

I have to sniff test it when I register it, (20 years and older are exempt) so next year it doesnt matter. I hope that there was no cat originally, and that she will pass!

I have a 351W, the rad sticker doesnt tell me a whole lot, I dont see much of anything for cats. I was hoping that someone could point me to a source on here or tell me what is needed. BTW, I am in canada

My 1980 F250 w/ 351w was catalyzed. The trigger is GVW. <8000lbs was catalyzed, >8000 was not catalyzed. If you have any doubts, just call your DEQ, and they can tell you.

The Sticker would say non catalyst equiped, my truck is also an 84 with a 302 and I have this sticker, but bear in mind that the sticker could have fallen off over the years, get the dealer to run your vin, or if they can't, I know that the MTO(ontario) can tell you.

Hey, I checked today, and it says noncatalyst, so no cats, right?

Will it still pass the sniffer one more year if it is a smooth runner???

Thanks

I think it should pass if it runs good, but, I think it should be exempt due to the non-catalyst emissions system.
Just curious, but, does your instrument cluster say "unleaded fuel only" below the tach/filler panel where it would be, or on a sticker on the gas tank door or hinge?
I can't remember if my 84 had it on the cluster or not(it was a catalyst truck,) but, all of the earlier LD non catalyst trucks I have seen were equipped to run on leaded gas(I belive this was a Canadian market only option in the 80's), and the do no have the "unleaded fuel only" markings.
