After having my car not running for the last ten months, I finally got it to the point where it is running good enough that I thought I could get it smogged. Yea...I blew a head gasket New Years Eve of last year and have had a real struggle getting it to run correctly. Thinking I was going to have a real problem because of the "Visual" part of the inspection I was somewhat weary to take it in. It has all the bolt-ons w/exceptions of headers and "They" didn't say a word. So far so good. Living in Cali has some advantages but smog check isn't one of them. After the first run (pre-test) the Tech said he didn't think it passed. Now I'm thinkin' Oh Crap....Gross Polluter.....Referrees.....$$$$. After going thru the numbers HC was 46 @ 25 mph (OK!) CO was 0.11 (OK!!!) NO was 697........Passing is 696.....I missed passing by one stinkin lousy point....Son Of A Bitc%!!!! Man was I pisse$. I really don't want to take off all of the bolt-ons and was wondering if replacing the 10% OD pully (supercharger) with the stock one would help. I read somewhere on this board that pulling the octane plug would help...well I did that on the second run and it blew a 748. What would be a quick fix???
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance
