rmartiner1414 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hello All, I am trying to restore my genuine 71SS454 to original spec and need help finding any information about its original emission system. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostnFound Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 When restoring to original your best bet is to purchase a service manual. The 71 SS didn’t come with much emission stuff. There’s no smog pump or smog system to worry about. The only thing I can think of is the charcoal canister located on the drivers side just behind the headlight.

stangeba Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I believe it would have had a TCS (Transmission Controlled Spark) where the vacuum advance would only be activated when the trans shifted into high (3rd) gear (or Reverse for testing and adjusting the idle stop solenoid) as well as the fuel tank evaporate emissions charcoal canister on the ft drivers side. Get a shop manual like Larry said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmartiner1414 Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Thank you for the help! Do you know if the super sports came factory with a square red button on top of the center console? Would that have something to do with the TCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi. No button should be on the center console. The staple shifter you have to squeeze and the console lid has the lock to open/ bottom on the lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangeba Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I would love to see a picture of that! Funny all the things previous owners can do to a vehicle almost 50 years old! Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealRed70 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The red button was for the optional ejection seat. Just kidding Lol. No red button should be on the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
