Hey Guys

Just wondering before I install my ThermoQuad on the factory 440 intake on my 1978 Power Wagon if I can or should remove the pin down inside the intake. What does it do?

Can or should I remove it? Looks like a major deterrent for any kind of performance.

That intake is a smogger non performance intake. So there most likely be no gains either way. There used to be a factory plug for the intake. Does the jet have an outside hex for a socket for removal? If so you could pull it, cut it short and weld the hole closed and re install it.

Thanks for all of the info Nitrous. I will look into it when I get home tomorrow. If no performance is to be gained I'll probably leave it alone.
