Nuther noob with some Questions

Would like to say hello,hope I can share some of my knowledge from years of messin with trucks and learn some more from others here. Just picked up a 90 F 350 4x4/460/auto and need some direction from the pros here. The P/O installed an ADS superchip without the octane bar I think? It will not pass Cal emissions with the chip in place so to pass smog its removed then put back in. Seems most these days are CARB legal but not this one? How can I tell if the "octane bar is in place or the stocker is in the dist? and last how critical is it to be sealed around the edges and what can be used to do so if the factory seal is no good.
Thanks Folks.
