Jason,
I have a hard time believing that an EFI would not be cleaner than a carb...
I'd check another source.
I thought mine was past the emissions testing in DFW - which is more strict than CA - so I pulled the CAT and had Butch redo the exhaust. I screwed up by one year and had to do another sniffer test - with no CAT it passed by a mile - I mean it was VERY clean.
Do you think that if you had a big air filter on your rig that the guy at the test station would figure out that you had changed to a TBI? My experience is that when I pull the 40 in they aren't sure what to do - and I can tell them just about anything I want.

Unfortunately emission testing has very little to do with common sense or clean air, it's mostly about political BS, $$$ and getting older cars off the road.

Has nothin to do with how clean it burns..
The f'n smog bozos have a list of everything it is required to have federally, smog pump, air injection, etc..
If I dump any of it I am probably hosed. I might get away with it once or twice but if I hit the wrong smog place I am branded for life..
Looks like a warmed up 5.0 out of a cop mustang will make it's way into the little beastie one day

I hope it works out for ya...
but if you feel like unloading your Megasquirt stuff, let me know.
Isn't there a year model that you're grandfathered in after? In GA its 25 yr, so almost any 60 is within a few years of exemption here.

It's just a matter of time before California drops off into the Pacifc...

Sorry about that. Sounds like they are a lot tougher down south. Up here tha only thing they check is the restrictor on the fuel filler. I pulled all the smog stuff off my 40 years ago.
So waht are you planning to do with your TBI set-up?

The 40 is not an issue. It is an 81 and newer thing
Don't know yet.
I will probably sell the parts to put a stock smog system back together and then funnel some of the money into the 302/c6/203/split tcase idea...

This could be for the best, last night the BBCN prez was telling me how much more he likes driving his 60 with a TBI V8.

Send me a PM on the fuel-injection related stuff.
I know I will be going this direction in the future, might as well do it sooner, if the price is right.

Being close to something that is not legal is not always the best idea
if it was older than 1980 I would be alright. But since it is an 85 I am screwed...
You guys interested in the Gm computer or the Megasquirt stuff?

I have managed to maintain all of my smog equipment when I did my TBI setup. I still have my air pump, EGR, cat, and stock air cleaner. I will find out if my MS-TBI setup passes smog in January, otherwise, I have a lot of work to do on reinstalling the carb.
