Gentlemen,
It's not a stovebolt, but I seek your advice/ instruction. Just got an '85 Suburban. Runs nice & smooth, but drinks gas. When you open the hood, you can hardly see the engine for all the vacuum hoses and wires. The deals that come up from the exhaust manifolds have already been plugged, and most of the hoses are missing from the Evaporative Canister. There are some stray vacuum hoses and wires the function of which I don't know. Is it advisable to just junk all the pollution controls, rip out all the vacuum hoses and plug everything up? Will this increase my power/ fuel efficiency? If yes, how should I go about doing it? What should I leave on it? If nothing else, it would be nice to get all that clutter out of the engine bay. BTW, it has a 350 with 4-barrel carb and 4 speed auto trans. Thanks for any advice!
