Jon,
Vehicles built prior to 1983 do not have to have all of the original emissions
equipment still intact but they have to be tested and if your car is tuned
good and a bit on the lean side it probably can pass.I take my Spitfire to The
Little Garage Therald Bushman and his son Ryan are very easy to deal with and
they can help you with adjustments and advice on what is needed to get it to
pass.I know Baileys can probably help you with this too but I am not sure if
he does emissions tests

There is always a choice to live about 20-30 min west of Salt Lake City, if
you live in Tooele County, we don't have to pass an emissions test ;-)
Makes registring my 74 and 79 Midgets much easier ;-)
Good luck!
Let us know how it works out!

Jon, Sometimes adding alcohol, about 10%, will reduce the emissions from
your car. With fresh oil and good tune-up it might pass. Does the car have
a lot of miles on it? Using Red Line oil might also help.

Subject: Emissions in Salt Lake Area
Hello,
My name is Jon Zaremba. I'm a proud owner of a 79 MG B. There's a
chance
that i'll be moving to the Salt Lake area for work this summer. I
understand that my car will need to face an emissions test. The exhaust
and
header have been upgraded to a Peco. There's no more catalytic converter
or
air pump. I doubt that it will pass the test.
Do you know of any loopholes or ways around this? I've researched it on
the
DMV website. Utah offers some classic and antique plates, but the
website
mentions that if it is a classic but less than 40 years old, it will
still
require emissions certification.
What would you suggest I do?
I appreciate any advice you can offer...
Thanks,
Jon Zaremba
