Took my Dart out to our weekly cruise night for the first time.

Had a Chevy guy going over some stuff in the engine compartment and making comments,I would like to know everyones take on the comments.

We are emissions exempt here and the engine is a 1977 225 in a 72 Dart.

I have the EGR port at the manifold plugged and the EGR valve reversed,thus blocking it off. This guy told me I should run the EGR as it would make the engine perform better.


Then he noticed the steel line coming up from under the firewall that usesd to run to the Charcoal canister,which I took off and threw away.

He says I should put it back on so the car will run better with it.


Like I said we are emissions exempt,so I took all uneccessary components and tossed them.

What do you all think of this Chevy Guys comments?Is he right or should I not even bother with the emissions stuff I took off?
