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
other than that if the motors stock and running good with no codes you should be fly

that or if worse come to worse fuck it sell it

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