CA Smog Test - Not so tough!

[Sonya Herrera-Wilson <herrera@cp10.es.xerox.com>]

Hey All...

With all the hoopla regarding CA's new stringent Smog Test we were sure worried if our car would pass. We've had it about 1 yr and have done extensive work (mechanically) our registration was coming due and the car needing a smog check.

So I printed out all my T-3 mailnotes about CA smog and how it should be approached
(ie. do manual check first).

I know you can all imagine how WONDERFUL it felt to pass IMMEDIATELY! Below are the readings from our test.

VISUAL INSPECTION INFORMATION--PASS
PCV SYSTEM PASS
FUEL EVAPORATIVE CONTROLS PASS
FUEL INJECTION PASS
AIR INJECTION SYSTEM N/A
OTHER EMISSIONS RELATED COMPONENTS PASS

FUNCTIONAL INSPECTION INFORMATION--PASS
IGNITION TIMING PASS CHECK
ENGINE IGNITION TIMING 0 TDC

EMISSIONS TEST RESULTS 2500 RPM

BTW our T-3 is a '71 Fastback, Fuel Injected w/1600 Engine (?) and is used as a daily driver doing 60 miles roundtrip.
