New to me

[Sheener]

I just picked up a 86 F250 4x4 with a 460 and a 4 speed. Came out of a state with no emissions and all of the thermactor system has been removed. I have picked up the pumps and canister and may have the remaining parts, but may need help installing all of it. I will change the valve cover gaskets and install new exhaust gaskets. It is a non catalyst engine, so no catalytic converter. The state of Colorado has adopted California emissions in my county, so it will need to pass a visual exam. My only question is does it need to be a completely functional system to pass the emission test? Thanks for being here to help.  Sheener

Welcome to the forum!  Glad you joined.  

Where are you in CO?  I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and we can add you with a city or zip.

But I can't say if your system has to be completely functional or not.  Perhaps others that live in CO can answer, but that is surely something that only the locals know.

I am in Fort Collins.

You are now on the map.  And I've been there a few times.  Used to recruit there for Conoco.

Welcome!

Not sure what county you're in but in mine if you don't have a catalytic converter you just have to pass a two-speed idle test. Go get a bottle of Guaranteed to Pass and follow its instructions precisely.

Just checked the county website and all emission equipment must be present and unaltered for a visual inspection. I guess that means more parts.
