I have an 87 B2600 with a Weber 32/36 carb and I am trying to get it smoged this year so that I can get it on the road and then I will be getting the 4D56t Diesel engine from Cali. My problem is the previous owner took all of the smog stuff off of the truck and I cant fint any in the three self serv junk yards here in Salt Lake City, Utah

I would be willing to buy the stuff from some one that did a Weber swap or if some one wants my Weber in exchange for there stock stuff. I will pay shipping for my stuff and help the other person with some of the shipping expense, if they are close enough I will spring for there shipping expense, I cant promise much since I am unemployeed and am working on a shoe string budget. I am almost employeed, just not yet.

umm with a weber carb all the smog stuff is out the window (including the engine control module), so if your trying to buy any of the factory canisters or vaccume maze you will be wasting your money.

I believe that he is taking the Weber off, unless I read that wrong.....

I got your message itslikewhooa
Mine is a B2600 with the Mitsubishi G54b engine and should have the stupid mikuni carb. Unfortunatly your B2200 is a different set up as far as the emissions stuff, thanks any way

you can pass emissions with the aftermarket carb. unless your just not statisfied with the carb id leave it on there.

B2600's and 2200's are entirely different animals.

Just because a Weber on a Mazda B2200 passes under emission radar in Georgia, this does not mean that an older Mazda truck with a different engine and a Weber will in another state.

Dino, before you go to the expense and trouble of swapping a lot of parts, I would like you to do something for me.

Go to an emission station and ask for a training mode test. Make sure the engine (catalytic converter) is good and hot at test time. If it passes the training mode test, run your emissions test. You're done.

The training mode test does not report to the State. If you flunk that, don't run the "real" test. Get the results and post them here.

What that will do is provide you (and some mechanics that hang out around here) with information necessary to maybe squeak you past your required test.

Usually the emission test guys are so impressed when someone asks for a training mode test that they will do it for free because they like to show off how much they know to an "insider." Offer some money to the guy anyway. You have just found a professional.

I would like to thank you all for your input.

Here is my number 1 issue. I have spoken with the county referee station about the truck and I was told that I need to get the AIS working properly. The AIS is the air injection system which is unique to the 87-88 B2600 with the G54B Mitsubishi engine, ofcourse all of you know this. My enigine is missing the two change over valves that feed the top of the exhaust manifold and the union between the upper cat and the exhaust manifold. The previous owner cut the vales off of the stainless pipes and bent the pipes back on its self and sealed them off.

So after this long story what I realy need is the valves that suck air from the air cleaner and send it to the exhaust manifold. From what the referee station guy said is get these working with the two other air injection pipes that feed the exhaust lower down by the main catalyst and I can get the thing past.

So if any one has these parts I realy need them PLEASE.

Dino,

If you could post a couple pictures of your underhood area (engine and missing plumbing) maybe that might help you get the parts you need.

The Injection tubes are also on the B2 /22 trucks. . . just a question as to whether you might be able to reroute a few things to use them, if you get a set.

What you have run into is a visual inspection issue. At this point.

It sounds like you need the air cleaner housing and the pipes right now.

You could probably modify the lower part of the housing to fit on your weber.

Added edit:

This is one reason why people who buy vehicles that have been tampered with have trouble. In this case, the tampering is obvious due to the hack and slash.
