My understanding of the issue is that BAR, for no particular reason decided I needed to meet 1966 smog requirements. They figured that you had to have a SR100 niber to be smog exemt and the minimum requirements were 1966, Since I could meet those requirements I didn't argue since I didn't really know what year my engine was. The 1966 specs that I posted were per 1066 and I could meet those requirements, At some point, I'm guessing 2009 or 2010 the feds decided that old cars should be removed from the streets, thus cash for clunkers. In it's wisdom the State of California decided that they could do better and legilate old cars off the raods and not pay for it. It's very simple, just change the emmission standards for old cars and then they cann't smog. Most people don't keep their records so they will just think their car is less ifficient then 2 years ago. Very few reailze that they have been legislated out of owning clasic cars.
I have an SR 10 nubmer so no big deal. As I said people with 1070's and 1080's cars are the real victums because they do no thave have fall back like SR100.
