Question

Jamo,

A question. I talked to a person in our DMV, ( no rocked scientist by far ), about if you have a 1964 engine, could you still register the car using that and not have to mess with smog. I was told yes, you can use the year of the engine but the car is still a 2004 and will have to meet emission requirements unless it is done under SB-100 and has that exemption. Basically what I was told, if I bought a 2004 Kirkham, I would have a 2004 Cobra with a 1964 engine that has to meet 2004 emission standards. That is not possible as the 1964 engines had no smog pumps and all that crap. When I asked how anyone was supposed to get emission equipment for an enging that was built before they even coined the dam word, I was basically told that is my problem. Now I only talked to one person but I am sure if I talked to others I would get a dozen different answers. So how would you go about getting a car registered using the engine year without haviing the SB-100 SPCNS number. Short of moving to New Mexico or Wyoming I mean.
