what were your numbers and limits? ASSuming nothing is majorly wrong, and you don't have a really rough cam in there, it is pretty easy to pass without any emmissions equipment at all.
I have cats for you.
Hasn't it been two years? Each test is good for a full year. Anyway, the car is an 89 so you must get it done every odd year or when it is registered in a smog tested area. Did you change cams?

cool, thanks John, you think i could come pick those cats up this weekend sometime? i almost doubled the HClevel at idle. (440vs 240) that's the only thing i failed.
I decided against the cam because i'm going forced induction with the car. same cam in it since the day i bought it from you. I'm hoping the car will be mostly done before the end of this season so i can take the car out to the track and hopefully put down some good times. I'm going to sell the cam and the T-5 that i bought. i'm going with a built c4.
have you seen the car since i got it painted?
I've only seen pictures.
You can pickup the catted H pipe this weekend. Just let me know when you intend to come-by and I can make arrangements.

Don't forget, that motor has stock 351 cast pistons. Don't go crazy on the power adder.
i'm going to be picking up another 351 block to build soon. so until that gets built the stock motor wont be seeing any crazy amounts of boost.
Passing without cats is a myth, I don't care how clean you think you car is. I just went through this 2 months ago.
Took it to precision tune for a pre-test and it failed miserable, took it back with cats the next day and it passed with flying colors. Went for the test that same day, no sweat-
Tried the rubbing alcohol and all that other stuff I read about.
Put the cats on... Good luck.

what day would be best for you and what time? I can do saturday or sunday. just let me know what time(s) would be best for you and we can go from there. and i'm going to need your address again because i don't have it from last time. you can just PM that to me if you like.
thanks again John.

You can pass the test without cats, retard timing,turn fuel psi down, change oil.
I have done this before it passed.

so after a couple jammed fingers and a couple hours of trying to get that stupid H pipe on, I finally just said screw it and left it leaking from the passenger side ball and socket connection to the header. the car was extremely loud driving to the emissions place, scared a couple people along the way.
passed with flying colors. went from 424 HC emissions to 30. my carbon was down to 0.
Now i just need to take the thing off and put my ORHP back on. i'll do that tomorrow since i have to go to work soon.
but the good news is.... I PASSED!!!!

AWESOME!!
No problem, whenever you are ready. Do you think there was something bent on the catted pipe? It is not the one from my red car.
