Non-emissions rigs can run the stock air cleaner with a Weber; they make an adapter, no?
Yes they can.
But you're going to write a whole new book on how to get a webered cruiser through a tailpipe test.

Just recently got into a argument at a California "STAR" station I always go to. The owner wasn't there and a new guy insisted on failing the car for missing the unobtainium heat insulator. The car passes smog with flying colors, and is one of the most smog compliant Cruisers out there. I've owned the car for 20 years and never has anyone picked on this part. These dumb rules have got to change.
He saw the temp controlled valve on the air cleaner that is not fed from the manifold below. I walked out after he told me to talk to the BAR. I’ll talk to his boss instead.My question is how can they possibly know about such an obscure part ? Usually the people working there are pretty dumb. What does this insulator have to do with emission's anyway ? It is just a heat deal.
So , what do you do now ?
I passed smog this morning with the following numbers:

I was told the guy from last week was fired (for unspecified reasons).
Looks like your engine is running real well. I am glad that guy was fired. He will probably show up at some emissions place here in Arizona ? We have some real dummies here.

Post a picture of the fail sheet? Without knowing what failed, we are all guessing, cant be much help.
The Aisin carb is the stock one that was removed when the Weber was installed. I'm not a Weber fan, but most times they can be tuned well enough to pass, then can deal with it later.
