well, they have an analyzer, but they can't do the official emissions. they 
said that the injector plugs being switced was the main problem. they put 
the car on an analyzer, and passed it. then i picked it up and went to an 
official emission test center (ETC) and officially passed, so i don't think 
they were lenient, or passed it on the scope.

this is a 1970. from what i read about the throttle switch this sounds like 
the case. it is miss adjusted and keepng the throttle open too long. but i 
kinda wanted a consensus for how long the throttle switch keeps open the 
throttle. is about five seconds to idle ok? if i adjust the idle down a bit, 
will the rev time come down or stay the same.

after i got the car back, i touched nothing until i passed the ETC, now that 
i have, i am going to document what they did (like throttle position) and 
see if i can put it back.
