[Spridgets] Service Interval Counters

[Chris King]

My '79 was originally a CA car, and it came with a 1 piece speedo cable,
no catalyst light or EGR light, but an EGR valve and Catalytic
converter. 
 
Do the CA inspection guys, after all these years, know the minute
differences between the early and late 1500s?

The counters were to turn on the "Catalyst" idiot light. Once the light 
comes on, you are supposed to drive to your nearest British Leyland
dealer 
and have the catalytic converter replaced. If your car was sold in 
California new, the first replacement is free. 

Now, where is that dealer located???? 

You can replace your speedometer cables with a single one and eliminate
the 
counter, unless you are in California, where all emissions equipment
must 
be in place and functioning in order to pass the SMOG tests.

P.S. Picture that same senario when you can't get your Chevy Silverado
to 
pass smog and it has to be crushed because GM and Delphi are out of 
business.
