Picked up a 76 out of texas that had been converted to single carb that just doesn't run very well. I decided to convert back to original FI, essentially everything is gone and I am working on understanding the system. I guess my first question is where does the fuel pump draw power from? there is a single black wire underneath the fuel tank that has no power to it but all the relays have been removed and Im waiting on those from pelican

When I bought the car I had to go to the DMV and pay all back fees from 2019 to 2022 when the car was donated . I now have a title in my name and was told I only need to pass an initial(two year) smog test to get my tags .I took the car off non-op and have paid for 2022/2023/2024 registration tags .I was also told should the car not pass I had to pay some small fee to get to be able to drive it . The laws here in California are a bit confusing . I now remember a long time ago I had a 71 bug with a 1835cc motor and failed the smog test because of a visual inspection, I had to reinstall the oil bath air cleaner,vacuum advanced distributor and original solex carburator and take it to a BAR shop. It still failed and they ended up giving me a waiver. I am just going to take it in with the 49 state equipment on it and see what happens . Maybe they will give me a wavier again . I really don't want to have to try and source all the smog equipment that came on a 1976 California 2.0L or sell the car .I've put my blood and sweat into this car(and not to mention a few $) and have become quite fond of it . This is a project car so when I get a chance to finish installing the new smog air pump and take it to a smog station I will update this post .
Thank you Wonkipop & Jeff for your thoughts and information . Ron |
