Roger,
I have a dumb question about your emission test program. You said that anything made before 1969 has to pass if I read the post correctly. But even Calif. didn't have any smog regulations at all until 1966 so there is no smog equipment made for earlier motors. We do have one great thing going now and that is SB-100 which allows the first 500 new kit or special construction vehicles each year to be registered by the body style and year the owner chooses or by the engine and year the owner chooses. If the smog referee doesn't agree all he can do is change it to a 1960 which is ever farther back from smog. We take our receipts for the major cost of the car to the DMV, go to the CHP for a VIN number, then back to DMV for a special construction number, then to BAR for smog test which is a waste of time as all they do is put the sniffer in, put down the readings and then put the smog exempt sticker on the car. Then back to DMV with lots of money and you get your license plate. Kind of expensive but a lot nicer than it used to be. I was just wondering about how you would get smog equipment for a motor that was made in 1964 for example. I am probably misreading your post as I normally do, but am curious.
Thanks,
Ron
