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

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What were all the test results?  Some things effect NOX one way and CO 
another.  How much did it fail by?  A minor carb tweak might get it through. 
  As far as emissions controls, your Imperial, now carbed is not on of 
3,000, but one of millions.  It's the same 318 2bbl put in almost everything 
throughout the 80's and with minor tweaks a heck of a lot longer.  My car 
passed the treadmill test (NY) with a 360 and a 4bbl AFB.  Obviously it 
would have failed the visual, but yours should be able to pass if it's truly 
in good condition. Like someone already said running rich car ruin your 
catalytic converter and O2 sensor.  Good luck.
