Hi Bob,
This just missed the cut of date, 74 and above have to wait until 30 years
old. This really stinks as the 74's are identical to a 71. Where as a 75 has
the new catalyst and EGR valves. They visually inspect it each time they Smog
it. They even check the timing.
Last time I finally found a Smog mechanic that wasn't afraid of twin carbs. It
took him about ten minutes off adjusting to get my smog down to the lowest
value I've ever seen her emit. Man does she run smooth too.
Thanks
Rick
