I spoke with a very nice person from there this PM, and he advised that indeed C.A.R.B. has issued a Cease-And-Desist order to several companies ( including summit ) citing what they believe is illegal activity.
it is ARB's opinion that these motors are not being sold with significant enough oversight, and are being installed in post 1965 vehicles.
CARB states that California 1966 to 1975 motor vehicles are still to maintain ALL applicable smog and emissions devices, - and although they are NOT inspected , you are REQUIRED to keep the SMOG systems intact and functional.
I have been forwarded to another office in CARB to register my complaint as a shop, and that they have gone too far with this action.
They could not supply me a copy of the Cease-And-Desist' as it is an ongoing CRIMINAL investigation.
