Unbelievable.. I've had nothing but good luck with those... I guess there are lemons waiting around every corner... Let us know how the replacement does...

From what he said apparently all the smog shops are under surveillance, in order to get your state permit it was forced on you... He's a pretty straight up guy so I don't think he got legitimately busted doing bad smogs, but as I explained later the stuff the state has busted people for anything...

My buddy owns a smog shop, the state came in and mounted a camera in his shop that covers the computer/dyno/stall where all smogs are done... You never know when they are watching....

Not many people willing to risk their livelihood to keep someone else's 76 Cordoba on the road in California...

Here in Ca bi-annual smogs were required on our older cars till around 96-97..

Actually not quite, That means they can sell it in California for use mostly on exempt vehicles, but if it's running a carb with electronically controlled mixture like a VV or a Lean Burn then the replacement needs to also have the ability for computer controller mixture... As an example the...

Honestly, no shop in their right mind is gonna fudge things these days... The fines are insane... Shops trying to do things right get fined why would they risk getting shut down to smog an old car? I know of at least four occasions when local shops got fined & temporarily shut down for BS...

Yup, Motorcraft.... You didn't miss anything... Then again all of the carbs in that time frame were pretty terrible... Actually the carbs weren't so much bad as being asked to do something beyond the ability of a carburetor....

I spent more time on VV carbs than Motorcraft/Autolite.. Graduated HS in 77 then spent 4 years in the Navy so most of the Motorcraft carbs I worked on were on friends cars or friends parents/grandparents cars... I started at a Ford dealership in 84, working on EEC III then EEC IV (OBD 1)So the...

I had a car registered in Texas but they require an annual safety inspection... I'm not driving back to Texas for a safety inspection......

In the past it was worlds different... But since more Californians have moved to Nevada then the population of Nevada ever was... Well, Nevada is California light.... With even less water & more heat....

There are a lot of reasons to leave... But grandchildren = no chance momma is going anywhere...

Motorcraft 4300 4bbl Autolite 4100 4bbl

Motorcraft's, Autolite's, Holley's & even Carter's....

Well... You can swap engines.. But.. You must use the emissions equipment from whichever is newer/stricter standards... In theory that even applies to genIII swaps into pre-76 vehicles but since they don't check pre-76 vehicles if you don't tell you're probably okay.. Until someone snaps...

Why do you suppose I let my license go? If it were about the emissions, measure what comes out the tailpipe.... But it's not... It's about money & politics....

Doesn't matter... Not allowed... I was California certified for years.... But it was always BS & by the late 80's I let it go...

Somewhere in the middle... Not the current standard... But about 50% of the original standards...

In California you aren't allowed to run an aftermarket carb on emissions controlled vehicles.. Or aftermarket ignitions....

There is a reason we buy pre 76 cars here in California... 75 & earlier are exempt.... If you run into someone who is a by the rules guy that actually knows old Mopars having the lean burn bypassed would be an automatic fail... If you get sent to the ref, that's an automatic fail....
