Question
I have a 1978 ford e-350 with a 460 in it.  There is no vac./emiss. info to be found on or in it.  Do you know where i might find this info? thank you.

Answer
If your vehicle is rated at 10,000 pound the maker, Ford, may not have been required to put the label for emissions on the vehicle. If my memory serves me right it was not until later that 10,000 or over vehicles were required to meet emissions laws. That being said the best advice is to contact one of the sellers of old auto literature like Bob Johnson in Framingham Ma. and get a shop manual. Some sites to check are: www.autopaper.com, www.kenmcgeeautobooks.com, www.autobooksbisko.com. There are dozens listed in Hemmings Motor News.
