My dad had a rebuilt 300 six installed in his 84 f140 4x4 a couple of years ago. There is no cat, air pump or any emmisions equipment on it right now. I am going to install the cat pump etc from my 79. Will this meet the E test requirements or will I have to go to the wreckers for the appropriate year.

Hmm....far as I know the components have to be in place and functioning. Year of the components shouldn't matter, but I would be concerned about the functionality of a system that old.
Also, you will have to check the book to make sure that you have all the components that it would have come with when new.

I'd think the same as Quad said as long as it's all there the year of the components wont matter. As long as you have someone thats not going to nit pick when they do it. I know someone not to far from your neck of the woods who wont give you any greif over it as long as he hooks it up and it passes. Drop me a line if you have any probs.
When I picked up my last truck the guy had a smaller belt on it to bypass to air pump. So I put the right belt on and it was real noisy I took it in to Can Tire and the kid said
the air pump was noisy so he couldn't pass it. So I took it down the road and it passed no problems. Half the people doing these test have no idea what the rules of the game are.
Nutter is right about that - you really gotta watch where you go for your emmissions test. Canadian Tire has one of the worst reps going.
