    engine clean up

    So I just got my 85 accord lx and was wondering what things can I eliminate in the engine bay hose wise. Also I was wondering how easy it is to smog these.

    If you want to clean up the engine bay, you can swap to a Weber carb, that will eliminate just about every single hose on the engine, plus give you a few more ponies. Might make it a touch more difficult to pass emissions, but I hear it can be done! If they do a visual inspection though, you're screwed.

    If you want to mod AND pass smog, you have your work cut out for you. Let this be your gude.
