My charcoal canister is cheating emissions. When I plug it in I get no signal.

I sent them an email, said they were being laughed at here on the 'World. I'll post the response if I get one.

Hey Pete,

Actually both the 75 & 76 have the same smog controls in all 49 states + CA added the crapalytic converter, & the 73-74 had a step up of smog controls from the 70-72 MYs 914s & -6s - but CalDMV/CARB expempts <75 MY cars from smog checks.

Smog controls started in the 68 MY with air injection into the exhaust headers in almost all models.

I think the link of the VW + Porsche logos was why the "fake news" used the 914 pic, like Greg said.
