Default Emissions

Hi everyone. I want to eliminate all the emissions on my 80 corvette. Anyone have any insight on this. It’s an L82.

This guy converted a C4 to a zero emission vehicle. I would expect the process would be similar for a C3, though a bit more difficult with a fixed rear windshield.

I believe he meant emission equipment not convert to an electric car. Remove the air pump and associated plumbing. Hook up the distributor advance to manifold vacuum. Use a 180 degree thermostat. Full dual exhaust without cats. Other may have other ideas to add.

you probably already know, but just in case, have you looked into the emissions inspection requirements for your state, county?
