RE: IML: down to crunch time: getting the '82 Imp through smog

["Dick Benjamin" <dickb@xxxxxxxxx>]

The only thing that comes to my mind is that you can take the air cleaner
element out and allow a little bit more air into the engine.  If your air
cleaner is old and dirty, this might help enough.

Don't you have technicians around there who can do a fuel/air measurement
and tweak the carburetor for you?  All it takes is an engine analyzer, which
most well equipped shops will have.

Failing that, perhaps you can put the car into Non-Operational status for
the next 6 months, and just wait it out.   Some folks have to do that here
in CA once in a while.

This is a little lenghty (seems like they always are), please bear with
me....

Well, it's down to crunch time. In order to get my new Imperial properly
registered in WA state I have to pass the dreaded smog test.
