Smog, again!

I flunked the new CA smog test with high HC and CO (this new dyno test is a b*tch). Even running it on a 10-15% alcohol solution. I think that as an early victim of these stringent new unchecked smog tests I'm entitled to a little fudging.

I figure the ACV valve is shot on my red83, so I'm going to get a spare ACV (from the junkyard) and adapt it to always pass air to the cat, so it will reduce emissions and pass the visual. then I can use that adaptor on each of my 3 FBs as I go for smog check.

dont feel bad man echeck is commin to where I live soon, and I dunno how im going to get my se past lol, a few tips, just lean the **** out of it, I got my buddies 83 caprie with a 377 through that way, also before they test it hold it in neutral at 2000-2500 rpm to get the cats super hot, you could also create a few vacuum leaks hehe those 5 gas machines love to see oxygen! hope ya get through
