Smog tube removal help Posted By: 1980azbird On: 12-31-2007 @ 18:49:09 Reply | Edit At the risk of wearing out my welcome here..I need to ask another question about my 1980 Formula...301 non turbo. I am slowly going through it and it is working out well. I want to remove the smog pump but am unsure about the steel tubes that run from the pump to the front of the cylinder heads. I guess these are the tubes that provide the air from the pump into the exhaust chambers as the system works? Can these be removed and the holes in the heads plugged? There are many brackets and such in the way right now so I cannot get a clear view of how they attach to the heads etc. Any help is always appreciated. Thanks!
