Registering in Calif with Webers and No Wipers

In California, you will need a brake and light inspection. MSO or not.

Hmm. So, are all replica Cobras registered in CA, registered as SPCNS, but with a year of like 1965? And the brake and light apply to that year?

The reason why I ask is that I had to attach a 3rd brake light, side markers, backup light, DOT brake hoses, brake warning light as a 2015 SPCNS.

You learn something new every day with this process.

When at the DMV, I was given a form to be filled out by an official inspection location (it was a brake shop).

They checked to make sure my brake lights worked and that I had a functioning backup light (I'd rigged one up using a switch from a motorcycle brake system that I attached to the shift mechanism of my car). I was afraid that they'ed use the brake check portion to go for a joy-ride in my GT40, but they said that fact that I was able to drive to their location was proof enough that my brakes worked.

They didn't ask for a third brake light.

I see, and I had a similar experience at the Brake And Light place. The SPECN year determines what's needed, and since mine was 2015. I needed all the lights a 2015 car needs to be legal in CA.

On my first DMV trip, they forgot to stamp Brake And Light, and I have been told that if they forget, you don't need it. Unfortunately, on my second trip, they stamped it on my paperwork. But, the BAR inspector did ask for it, even before he saw all the paperwork. So that request corresponds to your statement (it's needed).

Gary,

Not sure I'm understanding your point. The "blowby" is into the crankcase (yes, potentially from all cylinders), but is then vented into the intake so those same gases are consumed. It doesn't matter which cylinder combusts them, as long as they don't get vented to atmosphere. The only potential problem I can see at light throttle is if you don't create enough demand/vacuum in your intake to combust all of the gases being vented into the crankcase. If that's happening, you probably need to replace your rings.

BTW, give Kalifornia some time. I'm sure they'll find a way to eventually ban all ICE vehicles, eating beef, breathing oxygen and heterosexual behavior.

Cheers!
