there is a slight chance i might be moving los angelas. the build date on my 75 is 11/74. I would like to take the car with me if i move. I do not however want to cat it, smog it, and air pump it. Is it possible to register it as a 74?

No, becuase it IS a '75. Just non-op it till early next year and see if our '75's roll of the smog list. I think it's likely...but I don't hear that fat lady singing yet.

Time to bug everyone on the list about about SB708 again.

There is a bill in the California Senate to roll the smog exemption back to 1960

You read that right: nineteen-sixty. one-nine-six-zero.

Which means each and every 914 in CA will either need to get smogged, of get "historic car" plates.

Have -you- called your representatives to complain?

Historic plates don't get you off on smog checks....they can be had for 25 year old cars....smog is a rolling 30 year old exemption.

Try and pass smog unless you don't think you can. If you don't pass, take it to a judge and fight it.

It most likely won't pass the visual test with missing "smog" equipment. That's just the way it goes...

Do a preliminary test and DO NOT have it sent to DMV via the smog station! If it is labled a gross poluter you will have to jump through hoops to get it fixed!

Does a 49-state car have to meet CA rules if you move there (Example: 49-state 914 1.8 had no cat, no air pump... would the owner have to install said equipment when it didn't even come on the car from the factory)? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

If so, that REALLY sucks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

i don't know about cal rules. if the cat has been removed, you could be in for a nightmare. how long could you get away with jersey plates in cal if you were there on a "temporary" basis?

Thats what I was thinking Kevin. Our state inspections are good for 2 years. Registration is done on an annual basis. So, without getting a cali drivers license, in theory 2 years from the date I last have it inspected. Im pretty sure my insurance company would have some problems with that.

Of course..... you can always "fake" the smog test.

Run it to 1/4 tank.... drop in 2 bottles of Dry Gas, dive 5 miles, run it through the smog test, then fill up the tank immediately afterwards.

A couple years back, I managed to get my Big-block El camino with straight pipes to burn cleaner than a Honda civic--LOL

The inspector looked at me a bit funny, but it passed.

Just a thought.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I had my 76 2.0 smog checked last year. It passed the emissions test but failed the "visual" when the smog pump did not work (not rotating-broken bottom pulley shaft) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) . Epoxied the rubber coupling at the bottom pulley connecting to the fan housing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) , took it back for smog check the second time and passed. It appears that the computer print-out has all the smog emissions devices that are supposed to be part of the car and the smog mechanic knows what device to look for. Good Luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) .

Pay attention, bright-eyes; "they" are trying to eliminate the 30-year rolling exemption, and move the 'grandfather' date back to 1960.

Here. Read this: SB 708

Sheesh. Where did you say your day job was?

Not exactly sure... I think it is pretty much just alcohol...but don't quote me on that.

You can buy it at any cheezy auto parts store..... it's actually called "dry gas".... comes in a blue bottle (at least the stuff I bought did), and is in the section with all the fuel and oil additives.

so in cal, even if you meet the sniff test and aren't over polluting, you fail the visual, the pooch is screwed? no wonder i had to pay $2.23 for mid range gas 2 weeks ago in trinidad.

In California, you must pass the visual -first-.

The sniffer test comes after.

And FWIW, "NLA" is not a valid reason to not have the part on your car. (I have seen then require smog equipment that, according to documentation from the car maker, never existed.)
