Stupid Emissions Question...

Are you sure that you need a e-test, I have not needed to test my '68. Im in denver and using the 5 year collector plates. Might check into it, I don't think you need the E-test because of age.

Because this car was titled out of state, I need a one-time emissions test to get plates, even the collector series. At least, that's what I'm being told by the unfriendlies at the DMV.

IT PASSED!

After a week of tinkering, the '67 passed emissions today. Originally, the car failed, measuring 1033 ppm of Hydrocarbons. After taking just about everyone's advice, I changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, filled the tank with premium, added the CRC "Guaranteed to Pass" fuel additive, adjusted the carb, and retarded the timing by 4 degrees. The car runs like crap, but passed emissions measuring 114 ppm of HC. Thanks to all for your help. Now, on to the next project...
