After paying the Tucson MVD office $25 cash to get a new VIN for my '69 I took it to get the emissions tested. It failed the idle test with too many hydrocarbons but seemed to be okay during the at speed test ;D.
My question is that now that I've failed, the booklet that the ADEQ gave me states that I have to take it to someone authorized to work on it and fill out the back of the form before I can get it retested. I'm guessing that a new set of spark plugs and a good cleaning of the carb will get me where I need to be, but it looks like I have to have somebody else do the work and sign off on it. ?:?
My 30-day registration runs out this week and I really want to get it registered for the long haul.
Any other ideas on how to clean up the hydrocarbons on idle? It has a 302 with a mild RV cam, 4bbl Holley carb, headers with dual exhaust (the tail pipe rusted off the muffler on the passenger side, so that was recently welded back on) and it had a valve job a little over a year ago.
