I think you should have a converter, smog pump, EGR and such. Maybe find a shop manual and see exactly what belongs on it.

Some (all?) F-150's in Canada got away with being emission-free a few years longer than in the U.S.

ya this year in my area they decided that any 83 and up needs to pass emitions of the date it was made
and a yearly test there after
although if i was to put in a 302 or 351 it fall in the hotrod catagory and has to meet a set of minimum standards

but i like the 300 i have it out tows my nabors 82 f250 with a 351m auto

Adjust the mixture way down. Further than you'd think. Best of paying a shop with the right equipment. Throw some IPA (purest you can find) in the tank too. About a 4 US pints to a full tank. You should get some better numbers. Good luck.

(I)so(P)ropyl (A)lcohol. Actually, if you find Ethyl Alchol it's even better. The key is to get the best % you can find. Check your local drugstore.
