I have the Fed Spec smog equipment that came on the 8/78 FJ40. I have never failed emission testing (I’ve been close a number of years). I have 21 years worth of emission test records. This year was the first that the 40 was tested with the new vapor recovery tank. The vehicle passed the first idle test with readings so low that I did not have to re-test at 50mph. Initial idle test readings were; HC, 29ppm out of a limit of 250ppm and CO, 0.07% out of a limit of 2.00%. These are the lowest readings for HC and CO that have been measured at initial idle since I’ve owned my 40. The air filter, plugs and timing were not touched from last year’s tune-up for the 2007 emission testing. I did change from Castrol 20W-50 to Chevron Delo 400 LE (API CJ-4) 15W-40 which I also run in my turbo diesel. I did rebuild the carb a number of years ago, except for the primary jets which are larger, everything else is to factory specs for gaps and angles.
