You won't pass inspection if you go to a carb.

Re: tbi

1) Where are you located, & what year model?
(Complete info in your profile can be quite helpful.)
2) As a board leader, fast355's responses should always be taken seriously.
That being said, I've been apprised that here in TX, vehicles 25+ yr's old,
are not subjected to a sniffer emissions test, just the safety inspection.
And since mine is a 90, I'm hoping that's truly the case.
(Like to hear from anyone who can shed more exact light on this
TX. issue,)

PS. In the process of cleaning out the garage, & I have an old HEI w/ wires,
I can make you a good deal on. PM if interested.

Emissions are still part of the visual inspection if you find an inspector that actually does his job correctly.

Re: tbi

No sniffer test but a visual that any emission equipment is still there is all Texas state requires on 25+ years old. That's straight from the TXDOT web site. A City my have an ordinance but do your inspection outside of city limits. Hope that helps
