SB100 Sequence Number 2010499

[wanab5150]

From what I understand,the rules are more stringent than before. For example, before the new law, there was a window your particular vehicle would have to fit into such as between 2.3 and 5.0 PPM (just an example). Now cars will have to meet the lower number with no latitude as before.

If you don't meet this minimum number, you are required to spend UP TOO $450 to repair the vehicle to meet the lower standards and if it still doesn't pass, apply for an exemption through the DMV referee.

Certain areas in Ca. like Sacramento are targeted due to the gross pollution. Some areas in La and others also , I can't remember which ones right now. The target is the top 15% of the gross polluters.

It sucks but were stuck with it................AND, congrats on the SB-100. 499....cool!

First of all I got my number at 2:30 and numer 500 went at 4:00. They are all gone for 2010.
My numers when I was smogging:

Originally (1966) Idle Hc 700 Idle Co 5.5 2500 RPM CO 4.5
11/10/2006 Idle HC 700 Idle CO 5.5 2500 RPM CO 4.5 2500 RPM HC 600
11/24/2010 15 MPH HC 201 Co 1.3 NO 4.31 25 MPH HC 168 CO 1.1 NO 1174

Wow has the world changed. My car actually tested cleaner this year than previously but the State of California has changed the limits so that there is no way my engine could possibile pass. It is a 390 bored to about 416 CI with a carberator.

I am not sure how the State of California decided that old engines should be cleaner than they were manufactured to adhere to. Crazy, but they have cahged the limits for all years and that is why I was saying to beware if you have a 70's or 80's big bore, in California.

I talked to DMV 3 times today and am best freinds with both Sacramento and the local supervisor. I still have my number and they say I am good, but stay tunened, and as they say iit isn't over until the fat lady sings and they are both fat ladies.

Dave,
Thank you very much for reposting
But I don't understand...
What year was your Cobra registered as?
From what I understand, the only ways to put a 390 in ANYTHING in CA is to put it in something that never has to be smogged (I think 74 or older) or in an SB-100 car, which of course is a SPCN.
