CA Smog Test - Not so tough!



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 Maximum Avg. Emissions for Allowable Passing Vehicles Your Vehicle's Emissions in this Category Emission Reading Result HC(ppm): 400 123 48 PASS CO(%): 4.00 1.40 1.48 PASS CO2(%): 13.2 O2(%): 1.2 2500 RPM 2366
EMISSIONS TEST RESULTS IDLE RPM Maximum Avg. Emissions for Allowable Passing Vehicles Your Vehicle's Emissions in this Category Emission Reading Result HC(ppm): 550 147 163 PASS CO(%): 5.00 1.80 2.03 PASS CO2(%): 12.9 O2(%): 1.2 IDLE RPM 1043
BTW our T-3 is a '71 Fastback, Fuel Injected w/1600 Engine (?) and is used as a daily driver doing 60 miles roundtrip.
