I just picked up a tach for $50. There is a tach signal wire coming off your coil to a green connector that has no wire leading out of it... Hook the green wire from the aftermarket tach into this plug, connect power and ground, and you will know for sure.

I don't even have a smog pump to be driven by the belt... someone removed it at some point so the entire system is now useless. I'll take it all off eventually when I get a new weber and a long tube header. If I remove the tube then I have two holes in the manifold. I got it to seal up... If I didn't I would have just tapped the holes and installed a plug. No manifold gasket leak. Yeah! Planning to install the following part numbers from www.lceperformance.com: 1041033 (header), 1030026 (carb kit), and 1016038 (block of plates).

I ended up pulling a washer hose off of my Camaro... Put one end in my ear and listed around the manifold. It was leaking where the emissions tube bolts up on the top of the manifold (early 22r style). Gaskets looked good so a few bangs of a hammer to flatten out the hold down bracket and it is tight with no leaks. Questions: My engine has the smog pump removed by a previous owner... Do I need the little tube that goes from the manifold heat shield up to the snorkel end of the air cleaner? Is this part of my choke system or the emissions system? Mine is cracked so was planning to leave it off. One day I will do a good long tune header and desmog it fully.

Looks like the drain has a built in pee trap but it definitely goes into the black tank. No big deal. I can run the drain over and T into the fitting for the kitchen sink on the same side and into the grey. Planning to install and outside shower. I'll add water to the P trap for now.

No pee trap in this floor drain.

I have the '83 Dolphin with the rear booth dinette, It has the kitchen sink and washroom on the drivers side. The rear grey water tank below the kitchen sink looks to have been replaced but the tank (unsure if it is split) below the washroom appears to be original with the wires connected to the tank sensor on the rear side. I know there is a grey tank behind the rear wheels and another tank ahead of the rear wheels... I will have to look if there is a drain on the front side as well. I did pull out the floor drain and the tank is white so you can see light in it and was very clean.

My sink drain goes right down into the shower floor drain and directly into the black tank. I haven't used the bathroom at all yet and I don't ever plan to use the shower. I don't have a pee trap on the sink and the drain goes straight to the black tank so I can only imagine that this won't smell nice. I plan to install an outside style shower. How have you guys fixed this up?

Great... well only way to tell is to pull it off I guess.

I hear what you are saying about headers... I added a good set to my '67 Camaro and haven't looked back. Just not sure it is worth the trouble to invest in a good header. I do have a major exhaust leak so the manifold has got to come off. Could this leak be a part of the partial desmog?

After some more research it looks like my tube is a 20r style and it's called an air injection manifold. Someone already removed my smog pump so my plan is to just remove the AIM and plug off the hose where in joins to the PAIR valve. Will this cause any problems? Can't wait to totally desmog this engine and add a good carb.

My '83 22R has an exhaust leak at the manifold. Since I would have to take everything off to change the gasket I was planning to install a header from ebay. Is this a simple swap? What do I do with the tube that runs over the manifold or any of the other emissions equipment? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11051.m43.l1123/7?euid=910df763ded7478e9e303cd3efb9f5c6&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Febaymotors%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D360876907672%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AX%3ARTQ%3AMOTORS%3A1123

Wow... That's pretty spendy. Worst case I will just make some. Someone must have a set somewhere...

Yeah I couldn't get it figured... So close but so far away. Keeping the standard fronts until I save up for the adapters.

This was an ac control. It's cut into the factory harness. Blows cold... How odd.

Yes, the axle tube was a larger diameter. I really need a set of the upper sway bar mounts (as shown in your last two photos) as they didn't send them to me and they are now gone. I will weld reinforcement to the inside of the frame as well. I'd be happy to pay for them if anyone has an extra set.
