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! |

Do you think cards would cause it to fail though? If they were jetted properly. I don't think any emissions tech would recognize that it should be FI...

This statement disturbs me. You think all (your word: "any") emissions techs are stupid? There are books, you know, those thick paper things with printing on the pages?

I didn't mean to imply the emissions Techs have low intelligence, I meant instead that they may not be familiar with the 914, and that it may have been unusual for cars of that era to have fuel injection. I'm really not familiar with what sorts of manuals these testing stations might have that would outline what equipment was or was not original, just that when I took my 72 Pontiac Lemans in to do the 2-speed idle test (ca. 6 years ago) they didn't look twice at my monster aftermarket carburetor.
