I installed a weber carb and got rid of all the emissions lines except the ones that Are still needed, and removed and plated the egr valve, but what do I do about all of the electric lines from all the sensors and valves that are still all over? posts with picture guidance are greatly appreciated

When I did similar on mine, I just wrapped up the old connectors and left them in place. The stuff like actuators from the passenger side firewall I removed, and some I've sold. Even your removed stuff may find a buyer, in its present condition. some have even cut up the air cleaner to fit over their Weber for emissions test visual inspection.

Emissions all removed! Thanks for the advice,i got done with the emissions and started her up and age ran great with the new Weber carb but after a few moments it died and now it won't start again any ideas of what the problem could be?

No idea why it died on ya, either fuel or spark, you'll need to rule one out over the other, fuel is easier via starter fluid.

For the lines, I just wrapped mine up in tape and fished it into a hole in the fender.

Its definitely not a fuel issue i replaced all the fuel lines all the way back to the tank, installed new sender unit in tank and a new fuel pump, how do i check/fix spark issues with out having to replace a distributor, because i have new plug wires and a new coil

Jacked - he said to try aerosol starting fluid to RULE OUT any fuel issue. If it doesn't start at all after a few tries of that, then go on to the spark issue. There's an inexpensive in-line visual spark checker tool, goes in a spark plug wire or one can sick a screw onto the spark plug wire end, hold that about 1/8 inch from metal engine surface, and have someone crank the engine, and you should see a spark if OK. You can also stick a spark plug into the spark wire wnd and touch its outer electrode to metal engine, have someone crank, and see if spark jumps the spark plug gap.

And pull the top timing cover (or pull the distributor cap and have someone crank engine) to confirm that timing belt is intact.

Figured it out! It was the ignition reluctor inside of the distributor, they were all bent and messed up, just flattened them with a pliers and reordered them and now she runs great! I'm glad I didn't have to replace the whole distributor.

Just an update on my ride! I replaced the distributor with a remanufactured one and since then I haven't had any problems at all so it must have been the problem.

Substitution is oftentimes a good way to confirm a diagnosis. The trick is to restore to original condition if such swap in doesn't do anything positive, then search somewhere else. Like "changing just one thing at a time", rather than throwing a bunch of parts at it and just hoping.

For what it's worth, I did pick up a used distributor for my '88 B2200, and keep it in the cross-bed tool box "just in case". Note that I never checked this used one out. But about 8 years ago my mechanic swapped in the distributor from his son's '89 to diagnose bad pickup and ignitor in mine, so he actually did similar to what you did.
