While the CA emissions test are a pile, any pre 74 or 75 can't remember
which have been grandfathered out of the testing requirements. As time goes
by the effective date will be moved up. My 73 TR6 is now exempt... Oh
frabjous joy! While it always passed anyway it cost extra. Now in Ca we
lucky classic owners pay minimum annual licensing fees. Just renewed mine
for 2000....$48.00. Such a deal!

Alan: I can't help but feel bad for you. Why in the hell do these idiot laws
require testing on cars this old? What did the original emission controls
consist of? A PVC valve and a vented oil cap? What percentage of cars in the
USA that are more than 25 years old see daily use? .0001%?
We just had the Calif. style emisson checks rammed down our throats here in
RI starting this Jan. My choices are put those but ugly, limited use antique
plates on my '73 TR6 or submit to a biannual rolling road emission check- a
$125 joy ride that the TR. was never designed (or required ) to pass when it
was new!
To add to the thrill of it all, as far as anyone can figure, only about 1/2
a dozen garage owners in the entire state have bought the required gear to
do the emission checks. 700,000 cars+ 6 inspection stations= 1 helluva mess!
