I was tellin one of my emissions failure stories to a local mechanic (while BS ing over coffee), about the problems with the air pump on my "76. He suggested using an electric one off a late model Camaro. Said that he had seen it done but couldn"t remember what year car it was off of. Anyone ever try this solution?

It would probably fail visual in Colorad too if the inspector knew what he was looking at. It actually passed the visual with the air pump removed. He apparently did not know what he was looking for when he quickly opened, then shut the lid. Could probably mount the ele. one in tha same location depending on size. We have two levels of inspection. Newer cars at central locations on a dyno like setup, older ones can still be done at the mom & pop locations that are left over from the old tail pipe test days. Funny thing was that they still checked the gas tank opening size to make sure it hadn't been punched out for the larger leaded gas nozel. Like there are any of those left around! O'yea, car passed visual and Hc but failed Co.
