In Kalifornia we have to smog our gassers every other year. I suspect the same for the Diesels.

Not in all parts of California. Here in NorCal we just smog when you buy, then it's done until the next guy buys it.

Just like coal-fired power plants emitting mercury halfway across the country have all fouled our NY lakes.

But I digress.

We don't test in Michigan but I would bet most, except for a few exceptions have all their emission equipment hooked up and properly operating. When we did test I had a 79 Bronco, 429, 460 heads, and it passed. I don't think we were the problems of your lakes because ours in fact have gotten a little cleaner. And we do have a fair amount of fresh water around us. I think our biggest polluting problems are in fact emerging nations who don't know what emission controls are, now that even scares me.
