CA smog test
Just went to the BAR referee yesterday with my 1967 427 sideoiler. Non SB-100 and must pass 1967 smog standards for HC emissions. The 2500 rpm test with 218ppm measured, 600ppm allowed. However, the engine failed the idle test miserably with 2686ppm measured, 700ppm allowed. Any ideas how to get the emissions down at idle? Widen plug gaps, backoff initial timing, lean the carb. I need an expert mechanic in this area (Los Angeles/Orange County) to perform this miracle. This is my last hurdle to get a 2year green light to operate, and hopefully obtain a SB-100 number.
Thanks, Bill
