Ditching the reed valve on Raider? #938547 04/02/09 09:10 PM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I have an 89 Raider with 2.6 That is pretty much built and only used in the bush. I read a couple posts back that I can ditch the reed valve by unscrewing pipe from manifold and put a quarter in there and screw fitting back on? Do I just plug the vacuum hose off that runs to it? and do I just leave the opening on the air cleaner where the big hose went open?

I cut off the steel pipe and crimped it shut and welded the edge, AND put a quarter in there, too. Just cap the vac line. I blocked off the air cleaner hole.

Thanks fasteddy I dont have smog check where I live and it pretty much stays in the bush, The more crap I can get off this motor the better.
