What's a smog test?

A sure-fire way to keep all the late bays in California running like tops.

Robbie - can you clarify... don't you need to install the EGR system to pass smog in CA? (This is just ploy to get one more thing out of my garage). I read you are going to use the EGR hole for an ...

Anybody have firsthand experience putting. 69-70 drum on a 6 ...

Yes, the kit is fine if you don't mind a little grinding.

If the engine lives its life at full throttle, the weight of the car doesn't matter. Load is load. Wink
