Depends on what Terry said not to use JB Weld on. I
would use it on my old lady if she stand still long enough, she mooves around a
lot like she got worms. But the JB Weld has held, for many years and excessive
heat and towing. And it still don't leak.................

Ya'll don't be a Aggie and put JB down the
carb! On the emissions tubs that come out of the exhaust manifold they all
go in a line to a main tube that runs horizontally to the engine. In the
very back near the firewall is a chole point, that is where there is a small
bel shaped emissions piece. I simply took the hose off the top of that, and
filled the hole with JB Weld. Heat makes it cure faster, however I let it
sit for a day, then fired it up for about 5 minutes, checked for leaks,
none, but then levelled the top of it off as it has sunk down some, so
levelled it off with rest of tube of JB Weld. CJ if you or anyone else need
photos I'll take some jpegs tomorrow of the 82 engine.

Wait a second Eddie isn't telling you to plug up your vacum holes in
your carb with JB. That $4.00 bag of plastic caps will be fine for that.
What Eddie had on his was an air pump that pump fresh air into the exhaust
manifold. He took the air pump off and plug the holes going into the
exhust manifold with JB. I might be wrong but I don't think yours has an
air pump on it.

Thanks, I'll snag a tube of JB and plug all my holes. It's a brand
new carb, so maybe that'll do it. There is also a vac line to the tranny
too, but i'll leave that one be. Eddie Stakes

I had no problems with the timing when
disconnecting any of them. One thing I did do and should mention is I
adjusted the air/fuel mixture on the carb and the idel screw, but just
to make up for it not having all the bullshit life support connected
to it.
My 82 Eagle wagon has a 258 and 210,000
miles on it, I bought it at 81,000. I left the crap emissions on it
for two years, then in a fit, tore all that crap out, as the car ran
like crap no matter what I tried and simply just got tired of screwing
with it. The pile of hoses and wires, smog pump, tubs and crap from
under the engine was staggering and I took a photo of it. Abot 2 feet
high and maybe three feet circumfrence. Just absolutely amazing.
I disconnect the electrical shit on back
of carb, readjusted it, reset the timing (not on Hornet but on this
Eagle) and plugged all holes, some like the emission tubes that come
out of exhaust manifold I broke the main one in back and poured two
tubes of JB Weld in it, which sealed it and remains today almost ten
years later like a bad Jurassic Park movie.
The car not only had more power and get
up, but also seemed to have tons more towing capacity as it is my
Planet Houston Swap Meet Tow Car and hauls not only parts but also
whole cars.

Will plugging the vac lines throw off the
timming?

This is one you get a batch of those
rubber plugs sold at Auto Zone for $4, find right size and plug
the hole in the carb after you disconnect the
cannister.

photo 596 shows back on intake, note little vacuum
modulator with no hoses to it, this might be one of the
things you mention with hoses. It is not to the round
thing but directly in front of the big hose, barely
seen. photo 597 shows a worthless piece of shit thing on
the side of the block which used to have 3-4 vac lines.
This is on the driver side of the engine, you can see the
back of the altenator in front of photo. photo 598 shows
your black bucket thing, which is a charcoal bucket for
emissions. This outlived it's usefulness in the Reagan
administration. Again, nothing attached to it. Hope
some of these photos help, especially that taco helped me. If
you need a NOS AMC jalapeno I have a special on
