Re: Do you run headers ?
I've seen the smog systems plumbed into headers in some of the old 1969-70 Hot Rod Magazines for California cars..
I believe it's a strict law out there that you have to run smog on everything, isn't it?? Rich

Re: Do you run headers ?
Kevin DeWitte told me that his Berger delivered Dover White COPO had smog with headers from the dealership. He was told that he had to run the smog tubes in order to keep his warranty.

Re: Do you run headers ?
------Paul,,,If you think back there were smog-pumps several years before there were catalytic converters. Back then (68) I remember saying to myself that I would never own a car with a smog pump. That was definetly age and stupidity talking. I also said the same thing when 5MPH bumpers showed up (1973)  ......Bill S

Re: Do you run headers ?
I can relate to some of those feelings Bill. Funny how things were so cut-and-dry in a young mind.
I think an air pump into an exhaust manifold can be somewhat effective since those cast iron manifolds would act like an oven. With some additional oxygen form the smog pump, those unburnt HC's could be cleaned up. I think with headers there is a significant reduction in cleaning up the HC's because you loose the oven effect.
