The old way is how I got my car legally on the road in Calif.
It is a 1991 vehicle with a 1969 engine. Yes, I have to jump
through hoops every two years. What's the big deal? In Calif.,
the year of the engine is what drives the requirements for what
belongs on the car. You bolt it all on, kiss a little BAR ass, get the
coded sticker put in your engine compartment, drive the car home,
leave the stuff on the car or take it off. Put the Holly back on, whatever. Two years down the road, DMV lets you know it is time
to take the cobra to a smog test site. The sticker not only has a coded description of what your engine (for that year) needs but
the sticker also has it written in text.
If some of you for one reason or another don't go through with the SB-100, it is not the end of the world. I feel your pain, I have wanted to strangle a couple people in the process but once you
make it through the initial hoop, the every two year hoop jumping
is not so bad.
