Re: IML: 69 Won't pass emmissions



I did change the oil & filter 2 weeks ago. One thing I'm not sure of is on the new carb, the instructions say to use one vacuum port for timed advance or the other for untimed advance. Since the car has dead when I changed the carb, I couldn't tell for sure which one is correct.

John,

Always change the oil & filter right before you go. You did not mention having done that. Well, "always" = in the last 30 days or few humdred miles, whatever. Also, make sure your tires are inflated to the max allowable, so the engine's not pushing extra load. Let us know if any of this helps.

I installed my new carb & the car runs nice now. I went for emmissions & it failed the CO test. The standard here is 3.75 under load. I got 4.30. The idle standard is 5.0 & I got 2.18 on the first test.
After some adjustments to the carb, the retest showed 3.77 under load, just .02 away from passing & 1.07 at idle. Both big improvements.
Anybody have any suggestions to get this darned car to pass?
John
