silvertop 95
Hi Guys, ive a 1995 silvertop 1.8 which will have zr6 carbs fitted.........If i offer this up for iva,would it fail on emmisions? also would i need to
fit a catalyst?
I will be using megajolt and the cams will be from the 2litre.
Cheers Col

hi bud,
do you have evidence of when it was produced in 1995, i.e. what month?
If no, or if it was after august then you'll need to be fitting a cat to get it through IVA. Otherwise you should be able to get it through
without.

like craig says you'll need to be able to prove when it was made - but since its a ford, take the first 2 letters of the engine code and looke
them up here: linky
you might still need some offical letter to state that, but some people have managed with the page out of that cataloge

its the engine number thats important so best to check whats actually stamped on the block (incase the donor has had a new one at somepoint in its
life)

Engine number is stamped on the block nearside beside the VR sensor.
You need to send it to Ford Technical Dept to get a letter to prove when it was built.
