I passed this year. The car will never aircare again with this engine though. I just slipped through by the skin of my teeth. 377ci with camel hump heads and a little extra compression 
. I had to stick a leaned out Qjet on there and retard the timing to 4 degrees ATDC. Only emmisions is pcv. You still need to aircare all but collector cars. Have to aircare grandmas 74 formula 400. Although grandpas 64 falcon and model T dont need it.... I should ask why. Not sure if the firebird is a collector or not actually now that I think of it. Should be.

You can put collector plates on any car over 25 years old, providing that it is OEM. And you can put antique plates if it's over 50 years old I think. Not sure on that one though.
Edit: anything before 1970 doesn't have to go through aircare because it doesn't have any emission controls.
Now thats the way to go!!

I pass... after 8 tries
'88 CRX Si 1.6L SOHC engine (stock) swapped in favour of a JDM B16A 1.6L DOHC engine. Only mods are, cold air intake, exhaust system, B&M FPR, and an ACT clutch.
I don't really know why a 1.6L emits so much worse than another 1.6L but that's life I guess

I've not even tried yet...
350, ~430hp
13.3@107. 2.3 60' thanks to a busted tach. It'll be a little faster on the 8th 
I can't wait till 2006 when the aircare contract is up.

Would the same rule still apply?
