Determining Emissions Equipment - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**shambles** · 03-30-2023, 11:21 PM

How would I find out what emissions equipment originally came on my truck? It's a 1978 GMC C15. Bought new here in Arizona. The RPO Code says NA2-Standard Emissions system. I only have charcoal canister, and catalytic converters. No smog pump or ports in the exhaust Manifolds. It's a 250 inline 6.

I'm getting ready to go through emissions test for the first time. The truck hasn't been registered in years.

Thanks.

I don't have my books anymore that listed equipment required, so you'll have to take a short trip to an inspection station and get a list of requirements from them. Unless somebody else here has that info and it is accurate for your truck and state

Does it still have the emissions sticker on the radiator support? If not I would just make sure EGR is hooked up besides what you already have now. That is what CO goes off of but honestly I do not think these young techs even know what they are looking at when they see a carbureted engine.

Thanks for the Manual Keith. That helps. It does have that little radiator sticker, but it's faded. I agree though, I'd be surprised if they knew what they were looking at.
