Well the kicker is after trying to keep my oldtruck emissions working correctly I finely said forget it and put AZ. historical tags on it so I don’t have to ever get it emissions in AZ again. In AZ. a 20 year old vehicle can have historical plates and not have to have it smog.

Here is a quick up date for everyone. When I went back to retest there was a different person in charge this time. Both times I went it was early on a Saturday.The supervisor in charge at the time that I failed was a woman, not that that should make a different. But she is not familiar with the California 1977 F100 with a 302. The problem was she thought just because there was a place on the carboncanister for a second line that it should not have a plug on it.
That next Saturday that I went the guy that was supervising new the 302’s emission and was really nice about it. I left all the information that I had down loaded from the net with him to share with the lady who he said was his supervisor. He did say he would share the information with her.
Well the kicker is after trying to keep my oldtruck emissions working correctly I finely said forget it and put AZ. historical tags on it so I don’t have to ever get it emissions in AZ again. In AZ. a 25 year old vehicle can have historical plates and not have to have it smog.
Thanks everyone for the input

Yep, same here. Nothing in the bed. Too and from events only. You can put it in a parade but if you have riders in the bed you need a trip permit.

Wow, makes me appreciate Mississippi even more... no emissions of any kind for any year, only requirement for antique plates is 25 years old.
