what engine and everything

i have heard of stock 305 and 350 engines and such passing with no problme when all of the parts on it are in very good condition and/or new and all properly tuned yes its very possible and has been done many times i know

engnies run very clean when parts are nice and when its totally stock, but its mostly all in the carb

a nice remanufactured q jet carb if its a sbc engne will do the trick if the engine is in real nice shape lower miles and everything


also keeping it at the right temperature will help quite a bit too, engines tend to change emissions output at different temperatures i forget which temperatures cause which emissions contents

someone here should know more on this

good luck

A.I.R. is one of those systems that is more beneficial from its presence than helpful by its absence.
