Tighter emmisions standards

CVCC
Controlled Vortex Combustion Chamber.

My family and I owned several of these little civics. They were great little gas sippers. We could pick them up for a 100 bucks used with blown head gaskets. The cylinder heads would "Walk" and blow. The fix it was a gasket that allowed for this. The little carbs that came on them were part of the success of the engine, but they were junk if they got clogged. My dad replaced one with a Webber on my sisters and it was little rocket.

My current smog problem here in Kalifornia is my 99 Dakota R/T. It barely failed the smog test. I wanted a new cat for it but they do not make them anymore! They stopped making them a few years ago and they were like $1200! So now my $25,000. truck sits in the driveway with no way to register it with out throwing myself on the mercy of the California air resources board smog referee station. :banghead:

You may need to run some of this http://www.nulon.com.au/products/Aerosols/Foaming_Air_Intake_Cleaner/
through the engine....goes in the intake system.
You can spray it down each spark plug hole too.
I then use normal carby cleaner after that to remove more residue.
Just the other day I cleaned up a carby and intake from a 1989 Ford Telstar....looked like new when done.....clean as a whistle.
