Thats cool,I know they are a little more strict where I grew up on the cape as cops would go after shops that provided stickers to vehicles that were non compliant.I had an 80 z back in 93 and failed the visual for no cat once but that was a simple fix.my horn, lights, ect all work just no wipers, I might be able to skate by though.Im waiting to see if this obd1 thing is true before I move this car up there otherwise I will sell this and pick up an old nova.I have it for sle right now on racing junk so we will see,its add number 977426 if anyone wants to see what it looks like.

Ive heard this rumor too from a guy that services the sniffers, he was telling me he was going to be out of a job next year when they nix the emissions testing for all '95 and earlier vehicles.

bummer... but maybe they dont want people knowing in advance? what was that dyno servicer guy talking about then? and they've had allot of problems with the sniff tests, didnt they suspend them for awhile last year to work out some bugs? or is this all BS going around the grape vine?

I wouldn't believe a word that any government agency said, unless I had to.

24 hours before any new law goes into effect, they'll field questions by saying there is no truth to it.
