I got lucky and found the last of the part number on the vaccum diagram sheet. the rest of the sheet was torn off. i made copies of this and took them to the smog shop with me. this is for a FED 48 1983 4.9 motor.

My charcole can mount was broken so i went to the junk yard and got a new one here it is as i brought it home.

Here it is after some cleanup. this is the back side and you can see there is a tab at the bottom this lides into on the frame and the top is held to the frame by a screw.

Here is the front side of the can. it is ready to go in. this connects to the vaper recovery line in the fuel tank and then to the perge valve in the carburetor.

good think i know a person in the smog business. i failed inspection due to the oil cap being wrong. so here is the new correct oil cap.

I failed for a few reasons this truck is in smog confusion centrail. it is a fed 48 truck and someone added some fed 48 and some CA state stuff.

Ok on the next trip i found the EGR valve was junk and needed to be replaced. here is the old bad valve.

another view of the EGR ready to come out

here is the bad EGR almost ready to come out.

Here is the new EGR installed. i had to use the correct washer in the system. different calibrations used different thickness and different size holes in the washer to restrict flow.

i got luckey and found a FED 48 truck in the junk yard. i was missing the WOT system and the EGR tube was broked and patched many times so i took both systems.

Here is the Vac advance system a fast cleanup and it will be installed.

This is the WOT (wide open throddle) system. I did not have this on the bronco. this was another junk yard find.

Here is the WOT mount after being cleaned up and painted.

here is the EGR system loop (there is the cruse control cut out switch in the upper right but that is not part of the EGR system)

Ok the next failure was this temp vac tree. so i have to replace it now.

Here is the new 4 port tree installed.

Ok next failed reason was this is a FED 48 truck so it does not require an O2 sensor so i need to disable or remove this system. (i was going to add a fuel mix sensor but have not yet)

here is the new EGR and WOT lines installed

Here is one reason it failed. the PO hollowed out the cat.

OK the next failure reason the cat was not working correctly. (i found out the PO beat out all the center of the cat so i did not have one) here is the new cat ready to go in.

here is a side view of the new cat.

you can see the catalyst in the cat with this pic.

This is the heat stove. it is needed for the warm up in the smog system. mine was in ok shape but since i had to remove it to swap other parts i decided to clean and paint it.

hee is a diferent view of the warm up stove.

Here is the warm up stove all painted and reinstalled. looks good.

I had a hard time timing this beast. there are timing markes on both sides of the motor. this is the drivers side as you stand in front of the bronco. you can see the marks next to the pulley

to make things easier to time ford ran the maroks on the driver side up the timing coveryou can see the degrees on the top of the cover.

after yanking out my hair and my mind i did find the driver side was the side to time off of, but the notch was not TDC on the pulley. there was a hair line mark off 45 degrees from the notch this was TDC

here is the hail line i used a paint pen to make it easier to see when timing the truck.

here was one issue i had the notch did not line up with the pass side marks. i then found these marks on the pass side of the motor. and the notch would not line up with these eather. i went as far as to get a new pulley and upon close inspection i found the smaller mark and it lined up withthe drivers side marks everytime. so i set it @ 8*
