Hey all - I may have posted this a while back, I can't remember, so my
apologies if I have. Car is a 1985 Corolla SR5, 221k miles. Runs well
but uses about a quart of oil every 3000 miles.

I want to put a Weber carb on it to increase the horsepower, right now
it's making 70 hp (flywheel). What i'm worried about is the emission
controls - the current carb has lots of vacuum lines running to a
variety of sensors and whatever. Weber told me that "these will be
plugged off, cleaning up the underhood area".

Will this make me fail emissions? Or can I still hook up some of this
stuff somehow?

Thanks!

(The exact carb I want to install is a 32/36 Weber 2-barrel, replacing
an Aisin 2-barrel.)

Sorry for the repost!! Didn't think the first one went through.

Some state do tailpipe testing may fail here, some states like NY do visual
inspection for all emissions components in place.
