No I actually just ordered a code reader, do you think it will tell me anything that could solve this?your car is going to run richer because you took the cats off but not to the extreme you mention. Have you run the codes.
Start with the codes, but yanking the cats off usually gives you that gassy fume smell that a lot of people associate with running rich. It was strong enough on my car that I had to put the cats back on.
If the codes tell me its cats or a emission thing, is there a way i can clear the code or bypass it to make the engine run fine. I honestly don't know what else to do the inside of the exhaust pipes are cakes in black gas and if u put it in reverse the smell will make ur eyes water and its very hard to breathe.The engine codes will tell you what to check. Once you get those then the troubleshooting begins.

Do you want to know modifications or just everything that is removed from emissions?No- there is no magical way to fix the car running rich and clearing the codes does nothing, as the codes will return if the problem remains.
Run the codes
That will tell you where to start
You also need to tell us more about the engine- stock? any other emissions/EGR removed?

It has a cold air intake, headers, downpipe, h-pipe and mufflers dumped no cats h-pipe and downpipe. Thats all really in modifications besides normal maintenance things. The smog pump wires to the computer im guessing thats where they lead have been cut. I didn't do it my grandmothers mechanic did it years ago. So I basically took everything off with the pump besides the pipe that plugs into the headers. The egr valve is still on.Everything.
Yes I really rather not put on the mass air conversation. I thought it didn't have a check engine light ether someone told me it did. I guess thats all i can do it check the codes. Now would having lots of gas caked in black in the exhaust cause me to still smell gas and see it or do you think it would be very minimal if it was running perfectly?Still running the speed density computer?
Pull the codes. 1987 doesn't have a function check engine light, so you'd never know if there was a major issue
Ok so how do i pull the codes once my code reader comes in?Your car has a check engine light...but it's not wired up properly and functional. It was made functional when mass air came around. No idea why Ford did this.
So you'll need to pull codes

What are these called and what do they do? They were connected to the smog system and the lines where cut for both of these.What code reader did you get? Innova 3145?
