Weber performance carbs

Much of what is sold at performance shops is sold on the basis of "off road use only", which I guess negates them having to certify anything. Depending on what is tested and how tight the standard is, the chances are great that it won't pass the test. My experience is that performance shops are not too concerned with customer's emissions so you need to be.

'Performance' usually means not for street unless you really know what you are doing.

Most of the emissions vacuum stuff can be run by the Weber if you know what to plug in where....

Lots of engines will still pass the tailpipe emissions without the 5 miles of vacuum lines. I know how to tune a Jeep 6 to pass emissions with no Cat converter or computer in it, but not an old Corolla. I do remember the 70's ones were really easy to tune hot. Put a hot coil like the Accel SuperCoil I use in my Jeep, gap the plugs a bit bigger and you get some punch usually on the old beasts. I will bet there are websites for older Corolla freaks same as they have for older Jeep freaks.

The old rollers were really popular in Puerto Rico - I know a guy from there that was big into street racing, old RWD Corollas, the little Mitsubishi things (I want to say they were sold as the Plymouth Arrow?) and Mazda RX-7s are treated there like Mustangs and Camaros were here in the 60's and 70s.

On another note, could I put a 4-barrel carb on this car if I had the adapter plate and the throttle linkage matches up?

Be careful capping off emission controls. Even if you are able to get the engine to pass emissions an alert inspector will spot the missing or disconnected hoses easily and at least in my state, fail the car.
