Hey guys, so I have been doing a lot of research but would like some confirmation. So I have an 86 ranger with a duraspark ignition and stock asian carb. I'm currently in the process of replacing all the front oil seals, valve cover and oil pan gasket. Since I basically have the truck torn apart I would like to clean it up a bit. Basically I want to remove all the vacuum lines and unnecessary wires.
My plan is to keep the EGR only and vacuum for distributor timing advance. Also plan on disconnecting the idle valve on the bottom of the carb. I have no brake booster so don't need a vacuum line there. Would that basically be all I need?
After researching carb swaps I am concerned that the truck wont run right with the idle control disconnected. Will I be able to tune it to run ok? Will it affect the operation of the electric choke? I will be doing a 2 bbl carb swap in the future but would rather hold off right now if I can get the truck to run well with the asian carb without idle control connected.
Also, does anyone know where I can get an adapter plate for my intake if I do decide to get a different carb? I'm thinking ill go with the weber.
