fix your exhaust leaks,run 87,gap your plug to .35
have your self about a quarter tank of gas and
before you smog it drive it hard and long to get the cats nice and hot to burn the hydro carbs [Wink]
other than that if the motors stock and running good with no codes you should be fly [Cool]

that or if worse come to worse fuck it sell it [Big Grin]

Yup, drive it hard down the freeway to heat up the cats. [burnout] Would always help my parents marginal cars pass. [Big Grin]
