Downey
SILVER Star
Two things:
(1) When I wrote that I did not know of a TBI conversion that was Cali smog legal, I was thinking TBI conversion on the stock 6 cal. I absolutely know TBI V8's can easily be smog legal.
(2) For those thinking it is easy to smog the stock 6 cyl. with stock emissions equipment, know that when Downey was trying to get the TBI conversion smog legal back in the 1990's, we were testing with 3 different FJ60's, all had defective pieces of emissions equipment, Toyota had discontinued some of the pieces, and we had to patch/epoxy pieces just to conduct the Fed. testing. It's one thing to have all the devices intact, another thing to get them to operate properly to pass a smog test.
