Are you serious? I'm getting ready to sell my house 'cuz it is just too darn much house for me. A cruiser roomate would be an alternative. It's a big house, big yard and 3 car garage. if interested send me a PM.

So is all your smog stuff hooked up right do you know?
Register outside of Maricopa county and you will pass every time.
Do you have the Emissions Control Manual?

Very much yes. I have checked and re-checked everything.

Yep sure do.
Howdy! Did you ever post up the smog numbers from the failed test? What "shop" did you take it to? There are very few that know what they are looking at on a 25 year old Toyota. John

Numbers
I'm only blowing about 10 points high on both HC and CO now. And the truck is running like crap. I know I need to get the carb re-built and I am looking to borrow a carb from a friend with a slightly older (81) cruiser. Just to get it to pass emissions. His carb does not have the milage that mine does.

You know what I did when I needed to pass emissions. I bought my 60 and it had been sitting for two years at the side of this guys house. It had 230,000 miles on it. I limped it home, replaced the fuel pump, ran like 5 cans of seafoam through the thing then went and tested it. It passed. I'm actually a believer in that seafoam. Seemed to work for me.
so would it have passed without the seafoam?
Well the guy told me he took it to get it smogged and it failed. That's all I know really because I just kept running seafoam through it in hopes that it'd pass and it did.
Howdy! Is that failing at idle or running? Makes a big difference in what I would recommend. Those numbers are so close it could be just a 1/4 turn on an idle screw. John

AZ doesn't test mine at idle anymore. So it is all running and they have the follow the line course test which is crazy because in order to follow the line it's all either pedal to the floor or applying the brake. I know noone that drives their rig like that. It pisses me off to that they keep thinking that my vehicle is a 5 speed even when I tell them it is a 4 speed.
And I just had it tuned to pass as well. So messing with the idle screw is not something I would do. I am thinking of trying the denatured alcohol again since it is so close now. But I'll tell you. It is running like crap. Hesitation all over the place and no power what so ever.
