Hey, I have a 1976 and thinking about moving to Denver. I have carbs, and there is basically no going back to the stock motor. Are there ways around the emissions for 1976 and up cars? It is insured as a classic, driven about 2000 miles a year. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Rocky Mountain High! |

When I had my '75 tested at an independent shop (not many of those left) he checked for the presence. at least. of all the factory smog equipment, as well as the emissions. The official sites would almost certainly be worse.
Not saying you couldn't get a carbed car through, but I would expect some headaches. You'll want to familiarize yourself with the rules. And just to stave off any off-topic bitching about "enviro-nazis" the air in Denver in 1975 was so bad visiblity could drop to less than 1/2 mile on a sunny day. Much better now. |

I live in Durango and there is no emissions test here - they just look for a VIN in 2 places. But then we don't even have a local TV station...
You will running rich as a pig at elevation compared to Georgia so plan to re-jet the carbs. There are some great guys in the Denver area that know their way around Type 4 FI or Carbs. You are lucky to be moving there!! |
