the salt and pepper shakers are the ten pin connectors that control your injectors, read oil and temp and a few other odds and ends. you cannot remove them. did you plug the smog ports on the back of the heads upon removing pump and h-pipe?

its getting a 347 stroker with trick flow heads so im good there. Besides when I took the pipe off the heads it was already clogged with carbon. Im sure thats good for an enigne. the salt pepper shakers though. I have 4 of them tied in to each other. Do they all have to stay on? Anything else to come off?

 

[BK_CAULEY]

there should only be two of them. someone must have tried splicing in another set or something. use these diagrams to try and remove them.

There are sometimes 4 of them because in 1989 Ford issued a recall because the Engine's twisting action at WOT tended to loosen them up and cause problems.

If you have 4, you can remove the jumper harness and shorten it up to 2.

I'm glad I read this post because I too have four of them on my car, been wondering why for some time now, just didn't ever try to figure out why, so I can just remove one set of them and be done with it?

How much HP is lost to emissions in the first place? What did we just gain?

Nothing really. Maybe 1/4HP to turn the smog pump


It just looks cleaner really the only reason to do it

Probably gain more from removing the weight opposed to gains in HP. hehe
