The plot thickens...
The car is from Georgia, but has been in California for the last 8 years. It is
still registered as a Georgia car so it never had to go through SMOG tests. The
owner does not know if the SMOG stuff is there with the exception of a charcoal
canister that is there. A quick call to Moss revealed that the car should have
lots of SMOG stuff including a big EGR valve on the valve cover, SMOG pump and
more. The person I talked to also cautioned me about rust. He said that
Georgia cars are prone to rust and to check the underside very carefully. Maybe
this is really an expensive TR6??
