Larry,
The people in California know how important the smog parts are.When I lived
there
I had to buy an $800.00 parts car just to get my car smogged. All my smog parts
are safely tucked away in a box. Northern Idaho doesn't even know what smog is!
Share them with some one who needs them.Also where the smog pump went is a great
location to move your alternator, away from all the header heat.You have to do a
little rewiring.
