302 Emissions Removal
I need to remove the emissions stuff. Oklahoma doesn't have the tests or anything. I am going to be getting a intake/carb very soon and need to know what all removing emissions consists of. The thing I am trying to figure out how to cap off though mostly is the things on the back of my heads. What do I do about them beings I can hardly see them much less get to them? So could someone who has done this please chime in and fill me in?
Thanks a lot guys!

You shouldn't have very much for emissions stuff...probably a basic EGR system, thermactor system, and cat.
I don't know enough about that particular model to give details. I'm sure someone else here can help further.

I'm from Oklahoma too, here's what I used to plug the back of my heads, it may sound funny but I used two of my old spark plugs with the ceramic part broken off and it worked great. I would remove the air pump, plug the heads and make sure to plug off all vacuum lines that are associated with the emissions equipment and call it good. I did this on an early 80's model 302 and had no issues whatsoever.

Also do you know of anyway that I can move my alternator up to where my smog pump is, I hate that my alternator is way down there...Dumb but it bothers me.
Whereabouts in OK are you anyway? Anyway thanks for the help, I appreciate it a LOT!
PS, what kind of sparkplug or what was the plug off of? Aren't there several different sizes?
PS PS. Very nice truck!

No problem and thanks, I'm in Ponca city. I don't know about moving the alternator but as far as the spark plugs as "plugs" I just used some old Autolite #25's that are a small sized plug and unbolted the crossover pipe behind the heads and screwed the sparkplugs directly into the back of the cylinder heads. Good luck and if you have any more Q's feel free to ask.
