Considering an out of State 76 914 that has been converted to Webers and owner does not have original EFI system. I will have to have it smogged in CA so will need to find all necessary components for EFI and emissions equipment to pass tailpipe and visual. Has anyone done this? Are all parts readily available and what I should expect to pay on top of purchase price to meet CA smog requirement? Not sure why but it now has 1.8 heads and Weber 40 IDAs.
Disregard, got this on Pelican from their admin.
You would need all of the original type fuel injection equipment, all of the original exhaust, and all of the "extra" smog equipment.
Some of the FI equipment is difficult to find. The fuel injection trigger points, for instance, seem to be thin on the ground. The Manifold Pressure Sensor likewise, though many of the bad MPSes you can buy can now be repaired thanks to folks like Tangerine Racing.
The smog pump and its drive pulley are very hard to find, and likely to be super expensive to buy if you do find them. The exhaust is not that hard to find, but it is a power-sapping thing that is primarily responsible for the 75-76 2.0 being rated at ~7% less power than the 73-74 2.0 motor.
Note that if the car was built to take proper advantage of the carburetors (in particular, with a hotter cam grind) the D-Jet will never work well enough to pass a California smog check.
This is why the 76 cars are very often not worth bringing into California.
