My little '78 failed it's smog test today. :cry: We tried a test with the air cleaner opened but it made no difference. He told me to put new plugs in it, since I haven't done anything to it in years, because it runs perfect. So this weekend I'll see what happens. :econfused

Ouch, sorry to here that.
Which part of the test did you fail?
All he said was replace the plugs?

When I got my 76 smogged in sept. it barley passed the HC... Max was 1.82 I tested 1.81....,

All I did was replace and reconnect some bad vacuume hoses and repaired the wiring harness where the previous owner cut, yea cut with wire cutters, out a relay(next to FP relay).

The smog tech said I was running a lil rich and idle about 1200..., did not have a tach to set idle. But it passed.

Im sure it's something simple, it's just going they everything else till you find it...,

if all else fails look in to the cap program if it applies for you ;)

Get Jesse Ventura elected as your Governor. He abolished the stupid emissions testing in MN. I love him for that.
