Has a 2.0 with webers. Sounds like some kind of fixit ticket. Do 1971 teeners have to smog? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) How would a six ever smog since those came with carbs too?
Do we have any california law experts here to explain this? |

Blah.
Went to the referee station, sans car, to speak with the guy. I had to make an appointment (which I cancelled shortly afterwords) to be given the address of the place. I had a conversation with the guy, he ended up getting kinda interested in the problem but his advice was to either find the equipment to put on or just pay the ticket. The second one doesn't really work because I'd never be able to register the vehicle in CA again and driving it would be quite risky. I found several other options in the form of trying to get an exemption 'cause the EFI isn't available, as none of the BAR sources for parts had it, I'm probably going to be turned down on this, but it'll be nice to have a definitive answer. Markb got in touch with me through my corresponding WTB/R posting in the classified forums and it looks as though we will be swapping his old 1.7 EFI engine into my vehicle in order to bring it into compliance. I have been planning to rebuild my current engine and paint my car all along so the problem shouldn't happen again. It certainly could happen to anyone who ends up with an overzealous CHP officer, kinda weird to be in a state of perpetual illegality. Not that this car isn't more of a target than most, I'm just surprised he missed the rest of the illegal things on the car! |
